So, I worked remote for 4 months in Hawaii. 10 mins from a few smaller breaks. I surfed almost every day, and got coaching from an experienced surfer. I went from nothing to being able to surf a shortboard in 6 ft swell. A low intermediate level. It took another few months of surfing twice a week and I am now at an upper intermediate level. That means handling 7-8 foot surf, being able to handle rights and left, varying conditions, cutbacks and snaps.

My take : surfing is really hard. Most people struggle because of the physical conditioning needed and the proximity to good waves. I thought boxing had a harder and steeper learning curve with more technical variables, especially when up against a human opponent.

Also, This guy took way too long to get good.
