How did you discover surfing? Saw a surfboard in my garage and always wanted to try it!

Where have you surfed: France, England, Canada, Australia, Morocco, Fiji, Cook Islands.

I'm a fully qualifed beach lifeguard as well as a BSA Level 1 Surf coach. I'm able to take full lessons, for beginners through to advanced surfers. My advice for any beginners is just take a quick lesson so instead of struggling for a year on your new board you get help and get all the shortcuts.
