What are the "musts" when establishing a surf club?
484506
You can check out some web sites for established surf clubs, like the Windansea Surf Club or the Pacific Beach Surf Club.  You'd need to get members of course, that can be done with word of mouth and flyers or over the internet, and get some events scheduled like parties or surf contests or outings to surf flicks or screenings of surf flicks or tape each other surfing and show the tapes, or organize some surfin safaris to different spots.  Just make it a fun group centered on surfing.  Good luck, happy waves!

I suggest you go to some of the company websites and find out when they will have a Demo Day in your area.  You need to hit as many of them as you can, plus have someone fit you.  Demo days are the only time they have enough clubs to do a good fit.  I suggest going through the fit process twice to make sure.  I have a lot of the links to the websites on my blog roll.

Yeah Ive surfed for more than 12 years now. \n\nAdvice to someone who hasn't surfed would be to get a board that is long, and will be easy to paddle.  Ask the guys at the surf shop they will help. \n\nBuying the wrong kind of surfboard will stop your progress. It has to be suitable to your height , weight and skill level.\n\nBefore you go in the water see what the waves are doing, if you're new to surfing you wont want to get right out far, get waist deep in the water, get a feel for your board. And practise catching the broken waves. Get comfortable doing that, just riding them straight into shore. That will be fun for a little while.\n\nOnce you've learnt how to paddle and catch the waves properly you can try standing up.  It takes a ton of practise so don't be discouraged.

Assign a list of players to choics from\nGive all the players a value dependent on there ability\nRestrict the number of players that can be taken from anyone team\nAssign a set formation\nGive a budgit that will challenge the people playing\n\nI think that should be enough to get started if you need a hand don't be afraid to drop me a line.

Go to www.ping.com and look up Demo days.  Find one in your area and have the Ping rep fit you.  Ping reps are the best club fitters around and it will make a big difference.  They cost to much not to have that done.  I suggest you have it done twice just to make sure.

If you are keen and surfing is definately something that you are going to get well into then pick the best Wetsuit within your budget. Have a chat with local surfers to find out just what sort of suit you will need. If you are lucky you will not even have to get one, and instead you can buy yourself 20 pairs of boardshorts. If you will be surfing in cold water you will want to make your surf as comfortable as possible and a good wetsuit will ensure that you can stay in the water as long as the waves are good. However here are a list of good wetsuits:\n\nQuicksilver Boys Syncro L/sl 3/2 M Fullsuit $ 74.95\nO'Neill Epic CT 3/2 Wetsuit                 $150.00\nBody Glove Sealed Full Wetsuit 3/2mm Men's  $ 99.99

A decent size swell\nGlassy surface\nAnd a nice peak that peels down the line.\n\nYou want a good bowl shape to the face so you can get some speed and before some manuevers.\n\nPoint breaks are great because you get a nice long ride.

I would suggest visiting a local dive store (LDS) and checking: a) on any buddy lists they may have; b) any shop dives they do (typically these are free shore dives); c) any dive clubs in the area they are aware of; and d) any local charters they do. Heck, visit more than one LDS!\n\nAlso, taking an advanced class might allow you to also meet new people.

try looking in the yellow pages for surf rentals and look in the street directory for beach options.

Speak to your local surf shop. Try out some few boards and see how they respond. These shops should be able to offer boards that people can test (i think you have to leave credit card details to prevent boards getting nicked). There's bound to be a shaper there, or they will know one so you know you'll get a good advice.\n\nTry the big foamie ones (yes, the beginner board). Otherwise, an egg-shaped board, around 7'6 will be good fun (example McTavish Egg). Find something with rounder rails. Your aim at this time is to catch more waves as much as you could to get your pop-ups perfect. Then do your bottom turn next, etc. \n\nAnd then you can progress to riding 6's (since you skateboard/snowboard, i gathered you're geared towards shortboard-riding?). But if you are a soul-surfer, then perhaps try a long board. Again, the type of boards you'll be riding is dependent on the type of waves you'll be surfing.\n\nHappy shopping.

There's a small surf shop at the north end of downtown Lahaina (on Front St) that rents boards and soft surf racks.  Good selection, not too pricey, and the dude that owns the shop is pretty laid back.

SOOO Happy It's Thursday.  Welcome new members.  Will send out membership cards as soon as I design a logo.  Bunstihl, I'd like you to be a charter member and serve on the board - ready to put that on your resume?\n\nBunstihl - you can be anything you want to be.  I was thinking...on the letterhead, should we spell out the club name or just put the acronym?
