So I've lived in SD for a little over 4 years and have yet to attempt to surf.  I've played traditional sports for the better part of my life with most of that time being dominated by footbal up through my Sophmore year in college.  With those days behind me, I do whatever I can to stay fit.  I snowboard in the winter and wakeboard pretty much year round when the water is good.  With everyone always telling me that surfing is one of the best workouts you can get, I have always wanted to find out for myself.  With my current workout routine starting to get old, the idea of wanting to get out there and try it has once again krept into my head.  I live 4 blocks from the beach and own two boards (both the result of friends moving to land locked areas and sayin "here, take em") but I really have no where to go from there.  I'm hesitant to just grab the longboard and head out to the water because 1) I don't know what I'm doing, although I'm sure I could figure it out through much trial and error, but more so 2) I don't want to get in the way of those surfers that are out there trying to enjoy the sport that they are already established at.  So with that said, my question is what would be a good break to go "learn" at if I live in the Pacific Beach area of San Diego?
