| Hello, and welcome to the sport and the boards!
Attend tournaments. That's the only real way to see how you're progressing.
But don't be in too much of a hurry; doing it right is more important than doing it fast.
Good luck!

| Lochinvar is right, tournaments are the best way to gauge yourself, even if you don't compete, you can get an idea by just watching.
What part of NY are you in? There's a lot going on near NYC, less in other places. Let me know and I'll give you a hand find something near you.
