What will I learn?
You'll start by understanding how the ocean works — reading waves, spotting rip currents, and knowing when conditions are safe. From there, you'll learn how to choose the right board, fit your gear, and build the physical strength and flexibility surfing demands. You'll master prone paddling, safe ocean entry, and the pop-up movement through step-by-step drills. By the end, you'll be catching unbroken green waves, executing basic turns, and using surf forecasts to plan every session with purpose.
