ID Flagged: Seeking Advice I had my ID flagged about a year ago, and the venue mentioned it would be unflagged in March 2025, but they didn’t specify a date.

Hey! That’s awesome that you want to learn surfing! Here are some tips to get you started:
Take Lessons: If you’re new to surfing, consider taking some lessons from a local surf school. Instructors can teach you the basics, provide equipment, and ensure your safety.
Watch Tutorials: There are plenty of online tutorials and YouTube videos that cover beginner techniques, wave riding, and paddle positioning.
Get the Right Gear: Rent or buy a soft-top longboard to start. They’re more stable and ideal for beginners. Don’t forget a wetsuit if you’re surfing in colder waters!
Practice on Land: Familiarize yourself with popping up and balancing on your board by practicing on land. This can help you get the motions down before hitting the waves.
Start in Smaller Waves: Look for a calm beach with smaller waves to practice. Crowded or large waves can be intimidating for beginners.
Always Prioritize Safety: Know the surf conditions and rules of the beach, and always surf with a buddy when you can.
Stay Patient and Have Fun: It may take time to stand up and ride a wave, but don’t get discouraged! Enjoy the process and have fun!
Good luck, and hang ten! 🏄♂️🌊
