I've been flat water SUPing for a while now and would like to try some SUP Surfing.

Where is a good spot to try this in the Adelaide area?

U turns at Seaford is a great place for learning too.

It's a perfect place to learn IMO, small predictable waves and never gets very big. Your right it can be a bum fight but that's because a few people that have no surf etiquette are ruining it for everyone!

Everyone at u turns are beginners! It ain't the North Shore that's for shizza! Ha ha

Where is U Turns at Seaford?

I plan to go during the week.

Nice work Serpeant !
The Mid coast Surfing Reserve is the stretch of Port Noarlunga to Moana. All the big wave energy is blocked by Kangaroo Island.
The mouth of the Onkaparinga & South port beach is a spectacular area & both flat water paddling & some little bumps on occasion.

Priority number one to you and others is your safety & leash and the right of way rules. You will soon realise not everyone abides by these rules & ruin it for everyone. The Australian word for these types are : WANKERS. They have endless reasons why they are allowed to be selfish too.

Forget them, surf just the wave , be in just that moment.

I don't recommend you head Down South to Middleton or Goolwa, as you are not accustomed to rows of whitewater. When your skills develop you can try some of the fattest waves around on that side of the coast and sit in a crowd. Avoid Waitpinga / Parsons. Beautiful beaches, just at a different level.

Over time you can take a road trip with your SUP & find empty waves to yourself.

I would also suggest popping over to SA SUP CREW : www.facebook.com/groups/160314413996037

You will find others like yourself & very experienced crew in all facets of ocean paddling, they are a wealth of knowledge.
Enjoy the activity, its about having fun.

U turns is the go for sure. You can stay wide in the north channel. Its forgiving and generally the crowd is nice. Just be open, honest and courteous.
