The Surfing Lesson

We greet you at your chosen location 10 minutes before the surf lesson and fit you into a full length wetsuit and provide you with a soft foam Malibu surfboard.
We start with the basics: safety tips, warm up and general surf knowledge. Once in the water we progress each individual through a number of clearly demonstrated skills. These include: paddling onto and catching waves in the prone ( lying down ) position, prone to feet technique and traversing across the wave. One of the instructors will always be in waist depth water giving individual feedback as all of you cool dudes are catching the waves into shore.
