Alright I'm looking at getting into SUP over the next couple of weeks and will likely buy a board too should I enjoy it as much as I expect too. But before all of that I want to know whether most people have had lessons when starting out as I have looked into it and there don't seem to be many around the perth metropolitan area. I was wondering if it is easy enough to handle by putting in the time by yourself or are lessons needed ?

Any help will be appreciated.
