The Pump House Surf Shop ( Tel: 508 240-2226) also offers surfing
lessons:
  
"You're never too old to learn or too young, said Matt Rivers, owner
of the Pump House Surf Shop, which also offers surfing lessons. The
thrill seeking will cost you. Lessons here are $40 an hour.
But unless you have all summer to hang out on the beach and the
abdominal muscles of a teen pop star, you better start out with a
lesson. Gustafson recommends a two-hour lesson to get the basics.
One tip, Gustafson says, is to respect surfing etiquette.
Beginners aren't welcome at the best, most crowded sand bar on the
beach. There is a pecking order, he said. The best surfers reserve
that spot and they won't be shy to tell you, either.
Tip number two: duck if you ever fall off the board, and then see it
in between you and a huge wave. If you don't, get ready for a good
knock to the noggin or neck.
Long boards are better for smaller waves and more stable. These can be
rented at several shops for between $10 to $20 a day.
And since the Cape isn't exactly tropical paradise, get a wetsuit.
They're needed even in the peak heat of summer.
Newell recommends a 3/2 full-body suit, which is generally thick
enough for water temperatures between now and Columbus Day. Prices
start at $65 to over $100 at the Pump House or Nauset Sports. They are
also rentable at Jacks and the Pump House."
