WAVE RIDING + SKILL DEVELOPMENT
COST: $250.00
1 ½ Hour 1 On 1 Surf Lesson
Participants progress to riding waves with the assistance of instructors or trained volunteers. Water safety personnel may be required depending on the athletes size and abilities.
This involves:
Water Entry and Safety: Participants learn how to safely enter the water and navigate the surf zone while wearing appropriate safety gear such as life vests.
Board Handling: Participants become familiar with surfboards, including how to carry them, lie on them, and paddle in prone positions.
Balance and Body Positioning: Special attention is given to teaching participants how to maintain balance on the board and practice body positioning for stability.
Wave Selection: Instructors choose appropriate waves based on participants' skill levels and provide guidance on when and how to catch them.
Surfing Techniques: Participants are taught surfing techniques tailored to their abilities, which may include paddling into waves, riding prone, sitting, or even attempting to stand on the board if feasible.
Progressive Challenges: Participants gradually tackle more challenging waves as they gain confidence and competence in riding smaller ones.
