We often get this question from our guests or from those considering fulfilling their dream of learning to surf: Is it maybe already too late?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When that question comes up, we like to refer back to an old saying that applies to many situations, including this one: <\/span>\u201cThe best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

When it comes to surfing, age is just one small piece of a much bigger puzzle. Other factors, such as your fitness level, expectations, the quality of your surf instructor (or lack of one), and the environment you\u2019re in, play an equally important role – no matter your age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why You Should Start Surfing as an Adult\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Starting to surf might sound challenging and intimidating – but we want to reframe that. It\u2019s exciting and transformative! Beyond the pure fun of being a beginner in adulthood, surfing rewards you in countless ways for every challenge you face in the water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spending time in saltwater under the shining sun comes with several health benefits – research shows that spending time in nature, especially near the ocean, can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and boost mental well-being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
