You can find really good waves in Hawaii, Costa Rica, and California. The water in California is very cold. The waves at all those places are like 10-15 ft. high. Some places you can get some surf stuff like surfboards, boardshorts, wetsuits, and shoes you can go to Aqua East Surf Shop in St. Augustine. Or you can go to Surf Station.
Classic surfboards are very nice and they are very long and they are made a special way.
