    What To Expect

    We’ll kick things off with a warm welcome and a quick introduction on the beach. You’ll meet your instructor—an experienced surfer and certified lifeguard—who will guide you through the basics of surfing in a relaxed and supportive way.

    We’ll start with a land lesson where you’ll learn:

    Surfboard basics (how to position yourself and paddle)
    How to pop up and ride the wave
    Important ocean safety tips and how to read the waves
    Once you feel comfortable, we’ll head into the water! You’ll get one-on-one coaching and support as you catch your first waves. We’ll be in a safe, beginner-friendly spot with soft, rolling waves that are perfect for learning.

    Throughout the session, I’ll be right there with you—cheering you on, giving pointers, and making sure you feel confident and safe in the ocean.
