Ok, so last year when we were in Santa Cruz, there is a Surf Shop across the street from where we stayed. I came home and googled it and they give lessons. It has been on my mind that it would be cool to take a lesson or 2 and see what it is like.
My question is, what type of "shape" should one be in to safely learn to surf.
I am a "bit" over a desireable weight but not obese (5"10"- 237 as of now).
I am a fair swimmer, but never in the ocean. What would be a good starting point to be reasonably fit so as not to "get gassed" while learning.
I've heard that surfing uses basically all of the muscles in your body and would hate to take lessons one day and not be able to move the next.
Thanks,
Matt
