it’s pretty exciting when you think of going to a surf shop so you can learn how to find best surf equipment and learn new terms, like surfboards, leashes, stomp pads, fins, and so much more. but when i went to the surf shop to buy my first surfboard, i was completely nervous. i remember the experience as it was yesterday and how difficult it was for me to go in there and learn. why? first, i had to get passed my parents and friends who were making fun of me. second, how much money would i have to spend between surfboard, wax, fins, stomp pad, leash, and whatever else
