Two adjectives for a noun
I thought to write the following:
"We are a beginner and an advanced surfers."
Does it sound okay to you?
My (native English speaker) friend (but Kiwi...) says it's supposed to be "surfer" singular; what do you think?

Your friend is right. Although it is correct English when thus amended, your formulation is a little unusual to my mind. I think many people would say "One of us is a beginner and the other is an advanced surfer".
