I have really love surfing, Although I havent been surfing for some time. Do you like to surf? 
I have surfed before, though I can't say I am skilled. I do love riding my board on the forward face of a moving wave as we head towards the shore.
Oh cool, Yeah I love catching a big wave, I guess I need more practice because I fall off my board all the time.
I do too! You could try out using artificial waves created from boat wakes or in wave pools to practice.
Oh yeah good idea, I think our town has a local wave pool I can try out on. Have you been to a wave pool? How exactly do they work anyways? 
I can't say but there is usually always one present in water parks. They can be fun... and scary!
Haha yeah I guess they can be scary, I just dont know if id be good at it. But I suppose practice makes perfect. What else can you tell me about surfing that help me become better at it? 
You could try surfing on your belly or knees, which is the traditional way for the native Pacific islanders.
