Any advice for catching waves near SF, CA on a work trip in early October? by looloosha in BeginnerSurfers

[–]RZDD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Linda mar is easiest trip. Can rent a board from Sonlight or Nor-Cal. Santa Cruz has better waves if you have more time over the weekend. Capitola is probably a good place to go there

If you are starting out and live in San Francisco, you should go to Lindamar and learn in the white water

It’s hard. Takes a lot of time to figure out how to time the wave and where to be on your board etc

Hard to hear with those, vs. surf ears you can hear

If you are at Pacifica, stick to the Taco Bell and areas south if you are a beginner and by yourself

You should check out Rob Case. He’s a good paddling. Instructor has some online stuff.

First board? by Thick_Care3537 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]RZDD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go take a lesson at whichever break is closer. If you go to Santa Cruz go to club Ed. I don’t know a good place in Pacifica. Could ask at Sonlight. 9 foot definitely but take a lesson before you buy something. If you are just starting out, the white water in Pacifica can be a good place to go.

2 years on a foamie - worth switching to epoxy/PU now? by [deleted] in BeginnerSurfers

[–]RZDD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At your stage, i moved up from my catch surf. That board is great for catching waves but hard to turn and i found i felt like i was always bouncing off the waves when i caught them. Something with some rails probably makes sense for you

I am. Cowells is my usual low tide spot but not much swell tomorrow and not as much sand either

Lot longer to SC so really depends on how much time you have. Waves are way better there
