How long will it take me to learn how to surf if i...?



skateboard. ive been skating for like 4 years and i know how to go up and down ramps. i can also skate/ cruise downhill like REALLY freggin fast so i have really good balance. i can skateboard both regular and goofy footed. i can ollie , kickflip BTW.

hey remember me you told me to get bones reds bearings and you were my best answer now I learned the oposite way I was surfing before I was skating and you could problably do it the other way 'round to all you need is good balance. Source(s): experence
bounce and life jacket will be your main needs.
When my family went to hawaii my little 13 year old sister surfed from the first time she got on the bord. She did not even have to learn, basically you have to stand on it and keep balance...

It will take you a few try's and then you will be surfing...
that's pretty good. you will for sure have an advantage over the rest of the beginners but it will still take some time to get the hang of it. you might want to try longbord skateboarding and get the hang of carving and stuff. don't give up!!!
You should be standing up on your own and maybe turning on your first day. You still need to learn how to stand up. I say take a lesson and you will be exposed to most of the best techniques. Those you skateboard before they come to my surf school usually are doing well in a couple of months.
Depends on the individual.
