No.
1. If you dont live close to waves, not an option.
2. Also, if not that much experience in waves, learning from each other and especially experienced riders, is the way to go
3. Last but not least, riding alone SUCKS, no matter how good the waves are, and sharing experiences and pictures/video and discussiong gear maybe, after a waveday is often THE most rewarding and awesome experience as you get both then - so being many out on or at a wavespot, and even better if 1 and/or 2 is valid, a wavecamp - is just awesome
Wavecamps are often a mix between really experienced good riders, and some who wants to be better, and a few for whom it is a new world
