How do I get into surfing

[Nestel]

I just spent a week in Portugal and surfed every day (with an instructor). I’m fucking hooked. I grew up in NJ where waves were always trash and mostly did skim boarding. I’m an active dude, been skiing for years, grew up skateboarding as well.

I live in NYC now. Am I just screwed? Is surfing never going to be a hobby I can get into? Where do I even start?

Any nyc surfers here? If so, are you open to being friends and teaching me more about the sport?

I’m going to San Diego in a few months and would love to surf while out there. I’m also interested in visiting Sayulita. Any advice and thoughts are appreciated.

Edit: wanna say thanks to everyone for your responses here. Made me feel better. I’ve been on a surfing kick for a month and am optimistic about being able to go out to catch waves in my area
