What to expect

Expect a hands-on session starting in shallow water where you'll learn pop-up technique and board control on foam. As comfort builds, your instructor will guide you into deeper water to catch genuine waves. Sessions follow a tiered system—you'll work toward Bronze, Silver or Gold recognition based on what you nail. The wetsuit keeps you warm in Atlantic conditions; the foam board forgives mistakes and builds confidence quickly. It's practical, direct coaching rather than laid-back beach vibes.
