Mid-life crisis?

Not sure if I am going through a mid-life crisis or trying to re-gain my youth but I have been contemplating on taking up surfing. I work in Belmar and since it is getting warm out, all the surfers are coming out. Surfing is not something I ever thought about doing in the past but lately I have been wanting to try it. And with the fishing so slow it will give me something to do while I wait for the first fish of the season.

Now, anybody that knows me knows that I am not a little guy at all, not in shape nor am I a spring chicken. The thought of getting up on a board and keeping myself up does concern me but I still want to try it. I looked at surfboards and never realized how much they cost so needless to say if I do get one it will be a used one. Maybe I will even get a Tiki to wear around my neck when I go surfing in Hawaii. :-)

If anyone has ever surfed or knows a good place for beginners to start in central New Jersey, let me know, thanx.
