Do you know you can come across professional surfers by luck?

I never had the intention to stand on a surfing board soon but by accident, it occurred. I have always seen surfers on TV and at the beach and I wonder how they built their confidence and skills while doing so. I never for once imagined myself doing it.

But I met Tony at a beach and he told me he could teach me if I would love to learn. I wasn't convinced at first but he showered some knowledge about surfing and how easy it was while he was learning, believe me, I got a surfing board the following day.

Although, I didn't feel comfortable with the board, guess it's too big for a beginner so I heard I could borrow from Tony's place. If I could learn this thing, what's stopping you?
