WAVE RIDING + SKILL DEVELOPMENT
COST: $250.00
1 ½ Hour Private 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.
