Learn to Surf in Front of Your TV

A little unorthodox, perhaps, but you never
know if you could pick up some handy tips from a video like
this
. A friend of mine, a wannabee surfer, sent me this a while back and suggested it was a good way to start to
learn how to hang ten. Several major Surf mags have given the video a thumbs up, so perhaps its worth a try. Richard
Schmidt has a strong rep on the left coast as a surf instructor. In fact he
teaches classes out of Santa Cruz, which is a nice surf town,
after all.
