Both programs are approx. 2—2.5 hour in length. Students will start their lesson on the beach to learn about safe surfing / S.U. Paddle Boarding techniques, ocean conditions, rip currents, equipment, and safety do’s and don’ts. Instructors will demonstrate how to properly stand on the boards, techniques for getting through the waves, wave judgment, wave timing, and how to catch a wave. Students will then practice on the sand to prepare for the water portion of the program. Next, students will hit the water were the instructor will help students get the best waves for their level of surfing / S.U. Paddle Boarding ability with guided water instruction. Then it’s SURFS UP! Supervised independent practice time. Designed to reinforce the skills learned during the lesson as students practice what they learned on their own for 60 minutes. Instructors will watch students in the water during this time and offer feedback when students are done.
