The waves look very short lived there though. Are there any better spots to surf in Adelaide, or is that the best it has to offer?

Thanks for sharing what are some steps a person can take to learn how to ride a shortboard faster rather than later. Taking three years plus to get there? After a person transitions from a soft top and drops down to a fun shape and gets experience with the fun shape how does one progress shorter and shorter and shorter until they are definitely in the shortboard world world world of surfing? Especially if you live somewhere where the waves are pretty much small most of the time, never ever become open-faced waves, and usually mushy? How do you use Google to find a surf break that allows one to practice on a small easy to ride open-faced waves and what's the location like this is found how do you choose the right shortboard or hybrid as not to be too ambitious but as not to be under ambitious so that one can continue to progressed into becoming an official short shortboard Surfer? Thanks!
