I've been surfing 7 days straight here in NYC, Hurricane Joaquin has been producing some huge swell, so we've been getting a lot of overhead sized waves here which is pretty uncommon.
Surfing isn't really a hobby, but more of a lifestyle perse, I def schedule my week around the surf forecast, it def makes for having and maintaining a LTR tough (which i guess is good for the people here?). It's not possible to just go to the beach and surf whenever you want, all of it depends on whether the weather is cooperative. Most of your surf days up here are during the fall/winter...summers are notorious for flat days. The west coast has better surfing waves and more days of it, but it's still a lot of fun and I'm grateful that I live somewhere that I get to surf 50% of the month...honestly, I'm kind of grateful too or I probably would be just some surf bum.
Most of the central america surf schools are def geared for the touristy/aspirational lifestyle people...they tend to put you on these huge logs and push you out, and since the boards are so buoyant, you can immediately stand up...unfortunately you'll never learn proper technique on those. This school, Surf Simply (http://surfsimply.com/) is highly recommended. They do the opposite, have classrooms to go over technique, and also video tape so you can review what you did right/wrong. Def worth checking out, though they are expensive and are almost always booked, so you have to book months ahead of time.
