I live in Miami, and I'm learning how to surf. What are the best beaches to start at?

1. miami beach is oh so beatutiful!!!!!!! what kind of board do u have? For a beginner try to buy a softboard. Its like 100-200 bucks but u can buy it off of ebay for much less. it mainly is about that not the spot
2. There is no place to surf in Miami. All of south Florida is surf 'deprived'. The bahamas block the Atlantic swell there, and you'll only get waves in storm conditions. But, if you drive north just a bit, there are some surf spots that range from good to great. Check out the link:http://www.surfline.com/travel/index.cfm?id=2147#2155 Lessons are the only sensible way to start surfing, either from a professional instructor, or surfing family or friends who are experienced surfers. There are way too many dangerous people in the water now, who THINK they can surf. Please don't join their ranks.The VERY LAST THING the rest of us experienced surfers want is people to take silly on-line advice, and go down to the beach, grab a surfboard, and go out and get in our way. Good luck, and have fun!
