Lessons will be 2 hours in duration and will be split into 3 sections. Firstly a small introduction about the boards and wet-suits used and some safety points. Then you will learn on the beach how to catch a wave in the prone position before hitting the water to try it out. You will not be going out above waist depth so you can get your confidence. After 20 mins of catching waves in the prone position we will go back to the beach where you will learn how to stand on the board. Then for the remainder of the class we will be in the water practising what you've learned. This lesson is designed to give a basic introduction to surfing in a fun and safe way so that you leave Adventure One surf school completely stoked on surfing.
