Where are you based?? generally stick to beaches that other surfers use, and stay well away from reefs and river mouths for now. If
theres no body else in the water, ask your self why!

Danger level at Teahupoo 10
Danger level at Borth 1!
( I shouldn't say that really - anywhere in the ocean can be dangerous - make sure you read up about rips etc... and always ask locals
at a spot of any particular dangers. Surfing can be a very safe sport if you have the right knowledge )

As the others say it all depends where you are and what mood the sea is in... However, in relation to other water-sports then surfing
is probably one of the least dangerous if you are sensible about when and where you go.
As long as you know the dangers and stick within your abilities then it should be a fairly safe sport. There is always potential for
something to go wrong though so play safe.

If your worried about saftey then maybe start with a Surf School. That's what I did and it felt a lot safer as there were qualified
instructors and lifeguards near by! When I was starting out a couple of years back I was recommended 'Ticket to Ride' in Perranporth
and they were fab  Off o Portugal this summer now my confidence has
grown. Here's their site if it helps: http://www.ttride.co.uk
