Surfing: Fun and exciting for a seasoned citizen

My new wife and I took private beginner surf lessons. The instructors were young and friendly, and knowledgeable. We did dry land practice then surfed. We managed to get up quite a few times! Waves were smaller that day, perfect for beginners. A lot of fun. Oh btw I'm 67 and my first time surfing and with bad knees. If I can do it you can too! Go for it!
