Surfing, Helllppp?!?

If you could answer any of these, would be a great help (:
1. I'm looking at soft boards and does anyone know the pros and cons of wide and thin boards?
2. How many metres away should the wave be before I start paddling (green waves)
3. *curious* Does anyone know why the water is shallow (Or the sand banks are high) around about where the waves are breaking in some beaches?

Thankyouu

1. Wider and thicker boards are more stable and better to learn on. However, they are harder to turn.

Thinner boards turn easier but require more skill and balance.

2. I don't know how many meters exactly (ever see a surfer with a tape measure? nope) but you want to start paddling for it so that you'll catch before it breaks, but if you catch it to early, It'll pass beneath you. It takes experience, so you'll figure it out.

3. Well waves break when they come from deeper water to shallow water, which is why all waves have some kind of solid beneath them (reef, sand, rock...) If there were no sandbars, you would only have shore break. Sand bars are created from build up were the water deposits the sand.
