Surfing is a great adventure.
I have been surfing the beaches of Oceanside daily for a few years. The sand bar beaches deliver a new experience every day.
Learning to surf is much more than learning to stand on a board. You learn to respect Mother Nature’s power and harness her energy for the thrills of your life. Surfers develop a spiritual connection with the ocean and often are seen sitting in the water on days when there are no waves just to “get wet”.
Lessons teach you about water safety and how to handle a surf board in 
energy much more powerful than yourself. You progress from your first day as you learn the physical, technical, and psychological demands of this great recreation.
I have had athletic new beginners move from riding foam to catching real waves in their first hour. It all depends on you.
One Person One Hour $45, Two Hours $65

This following Video on three methods of popping up. For long boarders, going slower in step two and three might be alright. For short boarders, I would definitely recommend step one only.
