What To Expect
What to expect from your surf lesson
We'll start with a light warm up sequence and an explanation of how to paddle and stand up on the surfboard. Once you are comfortable with the technique, before surfing I review all the safety rules to assure the best experience possible, then we will jump into the water to catch some waves.
