Surf the Whitewater. This is a great place to start if you are a beginner. The wave has already broke and you can catch the whitewater. It will also be easier to perfect the pop-up, turning and bailing out. It would be a good idea to paddle into the whitewater and ride the wave on your belly the first few times. This will get you use to the feeling on being on a surfboard. When you’re comfortable, try your pop up.
*Remember- Surfing takes patience. It may take you several tries before you stand up on a wave.

If you wipeout in this area at least you won’t have to contend with rocks.
