First day on a surfboard - ever

Standing on a surf board for the first time in my life, on the second try, however the injured ankle from the accident, at work just before the trip - mangled by a fork lift made it's presence, in the bad conditions, as low tide and strong currents, however, now I'm ready to rumble again. Rented a board for 28 days - for a amazing prize - not to tell, or the guy will go bankrupt - regarding to rumors, for to low prices, trust me, it's possible to go real low in cost for the board - thanks to smart bargain. Now it will be early surfing to improve my apprentice way of surfing. Just regularly smart training with my "huge" board - long way from a big gun(small fast board for the big waves). Surfs up B-)......
