On the down side, it's often crowded and closing out a lot. But at least no one's likely to yell at you.

One question: Where would you recommend a new shortboarder go in the Bay Area or Santa Cruz to learn the art? I don't want to piss off the locals, but I do want decently good, steep waves to learn on. Oh, and if you ever feel like it, one blog entry that would be helpful for me to read would be a list of the top 5 or 10 things you've learned about how best to make the switch to shortboarding. Keep up the great work and happy surfing! <BR/>-EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
