Jonah Hill appeared to be getting adjusted to using his new board on Wednesday morning.
The Superbad actor, who lost 40lbs in 2018, enjoyed himself during a solo surfing session at El Porto in Manhattan Beach, just south of Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old star was first spotted riding into white water; he was later seen falling off his new surfboard and taking a plunge in the frigid winter waters.

Two years ago, Hill made a post to his Instagram account to commemorate one of his first surf sessions, which he shared with his This Is The End costar James Franco.
The actor also wrote a message in the post’s caption to let his 2.1 million followers know how he felt about getting on a surfboard for the first time.
‘Been terrified to surf my whole life . Totally random fear and at the same time always been a secret dream of mine,’ he wrote.
The actor added, ‘Turned out to be one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had. Not only was it so fun and challenging but more so I’m like “damn, at 35 you can start doing s*** you’ve always wanted to do.”‘

The Mid90s director wrote a short caption in the post to thank his friends for going out with him and sharing what he referred to as ‘one of the best days of my life.
Hill made a point of expressing that taking up surfing has ‘been one of the most positive additions to my life.’
