I want to pick up surfing as a new casual hobby.

Anyone have any recs on where to start (lessons, boards, wetsuits, locations, etc)?

I'd recommend getting a used wetsuit from a surfshop or Play It Again Sports. You can buy wetsuit cleaner, as well (also from one of those spots). No need to drop a lot of cash before you know if you like surfing

Most people I know learned on a foam Wavestorm board. You can rent for like $10/day

I'll leave location and lessons recs to people that currently surf. Maybe just get a friend to teach you?

I’ve been getting lessons from Beyond Surf SD and they are great. Bought a 10 class pack for two ppl and we will be taking our 5th lesson this weekend. I can’t believe how quickly I have progressed with their help.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
