First time surfing today

[Beefy]

I used a 9'6 longboard, and I didn't get up. My ribs hurt like hell, my arms are tired, I'm exhausted but it was great. I'm going again either tomorrow or next sunday. Any surfers got any tips?

Watch out for the surfer gangs who will kick your butt for an attempt to share a wave.

since ya haven't mastered a hang ten much less a hang five...I would suggest going to the nearest surf shop either rent or buy a short board...the wider the better for a novice...put it on the floor at home balanced on tennis balls...practice balance....have fun and watch out for jaws...he has a mean bite! Surfs up!
