You need a boat or need somebody with a boat.

Purchase a decent board and try to get good bindings, even if the bindings cost more than the board. Also check out some threads on how to get up. Getting up is very hard for some beginners. Once you get up, just enjoy the ride and when your confidence and skills get better, try some surface 180’s, ride switch, and jumps.
The hardest part will be the board decision. Demo as many as possible before you purchase.

try surface tricks in general but get really basic stuff like turning down first and getting out of the middle of the wakes
