you're struggling on many frntos ? What frntos exactly ?Don't worry I think we all felt the same way when we started surfing ! I remember after I learned how to take off properly and follow a direction, the biggest struggle for me was to catch waves (Don't kow if it is your case ???) I remember spending hours in the water and catching only 2 or 3 waves It was really frustrating but I kept going because I just loved the feeling ! I found out I just had to give a go at every wave I could even if I was scared to fall that's how you learn to read the ocean and to know what the wave is going to do I think perseverance is the key !So this is an example of my struggles but there were so much more and I still have struggles now the thing is there is always ways to improve yourself. The more you improve and the better the sensations are !So you're definitly looking for progression but never forget to keep it fun ! Like I said it can be frustrating because it is such an unpredictable sport If you have some good surfers around you that you can look up to and who can give you some advice it can be very helpful too.Sorry I feel like I am talking a lot haha don't hesitate if you have some more specific questions. Hope this helped !Cheers.Pauline.
