I am just beginning and im almost 12 and my uncle gave me his surfboard and im afraid i will break it while im still in training so if u can will u help me with getting over that fear cause i love my surfboard and i dont wanna break it. I also am afraid of crashing and snapping it in half cause im a beginner. Please help me!!!!!
dont worry it takes a real bad crash to break a surfboard in half and your beginning so it wont be so bad and your trainer wouldnt let that happen to you so dont worry your fine!
Stay off of waves over head high, stay away from piers, dont surf the inside break where it is shallow, dont bodysurf the board in to the beach because you are afraid of urchins and sting rays. Take fins off when you put your board in the bag to travel to mexico on a bus. Kapeesh?
Stay away from rocks and just use common sense. Don't ride anywhere you might get hurt. Its a matter of progression. take you time and have fun. Most of the dents and dings I have put in my board have cone from out of the water. Be careful taking it out and putting it away. again common sense. good luck
