How long does it take to surf?

Answer : The answer to that question is, that it's not age that matters but it depends on your height and ability to swim. If you are at least 5ft tall (4' 9" through 5' ) , you can surf. But if you have never surfed before, it could take a while, because you have to go through several tests to qualify as a surfer. So when you go down to the beach, be sure to ask the lifeguard to test you surfing abilities! >.<
