What to expect
You'll start on the sand with instructors demonstrating technique—how to position yourself on the board, generate momentum and stand up in one fluid motion. Then you'll enter the water together, practising in waist-deep sections before paddling out to catch smaller waves. The pace is relaxed; instructors stay in the water with you, correcting your form and building confidence. Expect plenty of time in the ocean and a few good rides by the end.
