Question
I leaned to surf last summer and i am at an intermediate level. i can ride a shortboard but i'd perfer a long board. is the surf in aruba good for a long board and if so is there anywere i can rent one?

Answer
Hi Scott...I once answered a question about surfing a few years ago.
My response was that usually, waves even on the rough side were about 3 foot tops and short duration, and I got a reply that surfing was great in Aruba , and I didnt know what I was talking about.
I have also never seen or heard of surfboard rentals either.
If you consider 3 foot waves great for surfing, then I hope I have been of service!
Otherwise, as said prior, I was told I know nothing about surfing, and I was wrong!
