Definitely go to somewhere where you can het some lessons. Quickest way to get going. After a few lessons get yourself a board and wetsuit and go out yourself where there are others. The bigger the board the better.

Also start gradually, start with waist high waves and then as you get more experienced start going out into bigger waves.

At all times respect the sea. If you make a silly mistake she will bite back. Seen too many people do stupid things and have to rely on rnli to get them back.

Lastly, enjoy it. It's a major buzz that you'll enjoy

where the wild roses grow

Tramore is an ideal spot for lessons. Lots of schools for beginners
