I enjoyed your article, and am confident you will master surfing in no time.
One of the most effective ways of learning, for me, has to do with finding the expert and learning hands on - directly with them. Watching, taking notes, and asking questions. Then doing the thing yourself. You cannot fail because the expert/teacher/mentor is right there with you.
When you get a bit of competency, then repetition and practice is how to get good at the thing. And, in my opinion, you don't need to practice for 10,000 hours to get good at it. Of course it depends on the task at hand, but when you start to get good, time spent melts away.
