Surf lesson details
Two hours to try surfing
In a two-hour lesson you will learn the basic points of ocean safety, how to control the board in the whitewater, and you will make a few attempts at getting to your feet.
It is the quickest way to find out whether surfing is for you. By the end of the lesson you will know what it feels like, what it takes, and the next steps to continue learning.
Surf lesson curriculum
How the lesson is structured
We start on the sand and finish in the water. Nobody gets in the ocean without first knowing what they are supposed to do.
On the sand
On the sand we go over managing our surfboard in the whitewater, positioning ourselves on the board, how to control our surfboard from a prone position, and the movement to get to our feet.
Into the water with your instructor
You go into the ocean with the instructor. The first thing is controlling the board, getting through the whitewater and lining yourself up to catch your wave.
The whitewater
Riding the whitewater lying down, handling your board and turning it in different directions. This is where surfing begins.
Your first attempts at standing, with the instructor guiding you
You make several attempts to get on your feet. Some work, some don't. Regardless, you have fun and you learn.
