What to expect

You'll start on the sand learning paddle technique and how to read the ocean's rhythm, then transition to the water with an instructor watching your side. Expect to spend time on your belly paddling out, then attempt standing as small waves arrive. Your legs will shake, your shoulders will burn, and you'll likely taste salt—that's the real deal. By session's end you'll understand why surfers talk about it like meditation; there's something about focusing solely on the next wave that clears everything else away. The post-surf drink gives you time to decompress and feel the calm that comes after.
