I was 12 and had a longboard in san diego. I went to a safe beach break and had one of the best summers of my life. The first thing is you should be a strong swimmer... and wear a leash so if youy loose your board you dont have to swim to shore to get it

I started at 7, and I'm 25 now and loving it more than ever. Its good to get the learning out the way, so that when the grom hits his teens he can start getting into more consequential waters and be confident in the abilities that should, by then, be second nature. when 18-20 rolls around, those 8 foot barrels in Indo will be a dream come true instead of a terrifying nightmare.

I started at 14 and I'm 32 now and still learning. As soon as you are a confident swimmer you should be ok. As for a maximum age last summer I met a 63 year old who was taking his first lesson. Fair play to the old timer at least he was getting in the water.

Dude it is not an age thing....it is desire, being one with nature, letting liquid flow beneath you, finding a grove, facing challenges maybe death at times, finding serenity amongst the calmness in between the rage...
don't put an age limit on learning...
I have been there and there is nothing like it....

I think you could be any age as long as you are a strong swimmer or have parental guidance

If you want to start? Well personally, I would start at at least ten years old, if not earlier.
