Over the years there have been tons of celebrities that have hit the surf.

In what only could be considered another boost for surfing's world wide image, super star, the Monster Goddess herself, Lady Gaga has gone 'Wax On' during her recent time off South of the Border.

While on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the 25-year old pop star was spotted and photographed hitting the surf and taking her first surfing lessons.

According to the pop info website WENN, the native New Yorker, Gaga was given tips by a local pro and was a natural in taking to the new sport very quickly. While she wasn’t exactly springing up to her feet and carving right off the bat, the ‘You and I’ singer was able to take small steps in getting up on a couple of waves.

A passerby told the Sun newspaper, “For a relative beginner she took to surfing really well. She started quite slowly learning how to bodyboard first and then she was able to work up to progress to standing up on a wave - she made excellent progress.”

 While not quite on a struggling surfer's budget; Gaga   allegedly stayed in a $7,000-a-night hotel suite in her   posh Mexico resort, while shelling out $240 for her   personal surf lesson. The uber-fit star did properly   ride a wave by the end, so it looks like it was worth   every penny.

 Gaga was set to perform at the iHeartRadio Music   Festival at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Sept. 24.   Four days later, she’ll open at the 2011 MTV Video   Music Awards, where she’s nominated in four   categories, including Best Female Video for ‘Born   This Way.’

Meanwhile in California, another world-wide mega star, David Beckham was spotted hitting the Pacific Ocean surf on a bodyboard with his two sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, who also joined their famous Dad out on bodyboards.
