depends how you define "surf". for me, self-taught on a 6' thruster and still riding one, nearly 15 years later, i'm still learning someting every session. however,almost anyone can get a longboard, paddle out, get up and surf first go. longboards have made surfing accessible to the masses. geez,it'...

the right blank for the board + s glass + uv resin will give you a very durable board. need to get board made by shaper who knows their materials. off the rack boards wont cut it. go custom if you want better strength. good info how important materials are @ http://www.surfblanksaustralia.com/index....

base surfboards at manly might be able to help if you take it there or send them a photo. they have some circa. 1982 energy thrusters on the wall of the stairway to the upper level.
