Hi Charles, you should try it again, go surfing! Nowadays there are many good boards to fit you. Let me know if you need any tip to be back in surfing. 🙌🏄
If the “pop up” is an issue do what I did, get into Kneeling. The swim out is easier as you have fins and can duck through the waves. There’s no pop-up so you’re quickly into the wave. It’s brilliant, skilful and exhilarating. The small board is easier to carry than the longboard. All positives, have a go.
