Chilly -
One of my H's surf buddies is the woman who runs Surf Diva - and they do surf schools here and in Mexico!
Aren't those surfer dudes cute, too?
If you come to San Diego we could loan you an old board. (Don't come to CA to teach, though - our school board just managed to drive my kids three best elementary school teachers into premature retirement - what a loss!).

Are you out of school yet? My kids get out tomorrow - I feel like I'm getting out of school because I don't have to get up at 5:45 AM anymore!

And SB - yes, as a family physician I have lots of experience advising others - it's taking my own advice I have trouble with!
