What to expect
Expect to spend the first 20 minutes on sand learning balance and pop-up technique, then wade into the shallows to practise. Your instructor will position you for whitewater waves where the real learning happens—timing your paddling, reading where swells break, standing up when the moment arrives. You'll get wet, probably fall off repeatedly, and feel genuinely fatigued. It's not choreographed fun; it's honest physical engagement with moving water.
Good to know
