The North Shore on the island of Oahu has gigantic winter waves and is commonly referred to as wild water. These are the guidelines you should always follow while surfing.
Test the water first, you might be able to get away with board shorts, but I would recommend a rash vest also. Today there are many surfing accessories in use that were not available to surfers of the 1960's such as wetsuits, leashes and rash guards. Great for kids and smaller adults looking for a great beginners board or the experienced longboarder needing something more maneuverable.
A surf instructor is also a great networking tool. It resembles the longboard in length but it is thinner, less stable, and also called the Thruster, likes large, intimidating waves. The second type of a wipeout and without a doubt the most horrific is going over the falls, this is from not having enough paddling speed to catch the wave early enough, getting sucked up the face and pitched over with the lip.
You have more fun surfing with someone else, always have someone to talk to and most importantly proof that you scored the waves you tell everyone about. With a little time and effort, you can find just the right surfboard for your sessions, so that you can make the most of this fun in the sun watersport.
