Good explanation! I am 64 and learning how to surf. It sure isn't easy. I first had to learn about the ocean since I hadn't been swimming since I was 16. I've been doing this for the better part of a year and some days I catch a handful of waves and other days none. I stood a few times but my primary goal is to read and catch more waves. Also, I am learning at an open beach break in Florida-not an easy place to learn. I am lucky in that I have my husband who surfs to teach me. You say basically the same things he does so I am confident I am on the right track. Thanks for these.
