Tomorrow I'm going surfing for the first time and I am quite nervous. I've been snowboarding a whopping 7 times ever and was finally doing blacks the last time I went this past spring break.

I've heard that there is a big similarity among surfing and snowboarding however also many differences as well. Has anyone done both of these sports and if so what are your suggestions for crossing over? Or just advice on surfing would be great. All and any information would be appreciated.

I've been you tubing introduction surfing videos and am trying to gain at least some sense of understanding of the sport so I'm not a total dufus. Keep in mind I rock climb at an indoor gym roughly 3 to 4 days a week and I'm a swimmer. So I have body strength to my advantage. The guy who's taking me said since I have 13 years of swimming under my belt plus the understanding of snowboarding I should pick it up fast.
