Whats up people? My name is Nick and I live in Lake Charles (noone knows where this is so about 2 and a half hours from the Galveston/Houston area.) I would like to learn this year but I was talking with a local shop and they said the wind normally dies in June. South Padre is 8 hours away and they say that is a good learning spot but I would rather not wear a wetsuit and not have to wait until next march before I learn. So it looks like maybe Florida is a good option? (I'm 6 and a half hours from Pensacola, are there any good schools around there?) I will probably be ready around september? I just ordered my trainer and it should come in Wednesday, I ordered a HQ Rush 3 meter. I want to learn that as much as possible and then go take lessons.
I'm not sure if this part matters. I'm 5-10 and about 173 lbs. I dont have any surfing background but I have done a good bit of kneeboarding and not much wakeboarding so pretty much going to be starting from the beginning.
Thanks for your help everyone.
