Experience Overview:
2 Hour Introduction To Surfing Lesson On The Gold CoastOur 2 hour introduction to surf session is for anyone (14 years and up) who wants to jump on a board and experience the thrill of surfing. This is a great session for first timers or some one who has maybe done one or 2 lessons and just need a bit more help with the basics. The intro lesson is conducted in the white wash, in waist deep water so its safe for anyone.
This lessons covers the following:
- Identify the parts of the surf board and equipment
- Basic surf awareness
- Recognize hazards in the surf such as rips
- Learn the steps to standing on a board
- Ride a broken wave in the white wash assisted by the instructor
- How to fall off safely in the shallows
Get Started: This is where you have to listen, the instructors will run through a really important safety brief about the conditions you are surfing in on that day followed by some really easy techniques to help you get up on the board as easily as possible and maximise
your vertical time on the board and of course how to fall off safely. Once the instructors are confident that you are all good to go, its then time to get started.
Get Wet : This is what you came for. The instructors will take the group down to the water together, before your big toe goes in they will run through the formation they need you to stay in so everyone gets a great crack at it and the instructors can give you tips. If you are doing what these expert instructors are telling you should be pretty much standing on your
first or second wave.
Get Vertical: At first the instructors will help by pulling you onto the best waves, but it won't be long before you can pick your own and go for it. Some people learn faster than others for one reason or another, but the instructors are there to help everyone achieve the best they can.
Get Sharing: after a good hour and 20 min (if you can last that long) in the water you should be tired, satisfied and have a big smile on your face, met some new friends and want to tell the world. It's now time for the Instagram group pic so you can share with your friends. if the conditions are good and everyone has been catching lots of waves the instructors will do
their best to grab some photos of you ripping, after the group photo we will all head back to the shop and they will show you your happy snaps on the the big screen, if you like what you see and want to grab them for your next face book profile pic you can grab a USB with all of your shots for just $25
*** the instructors will do everything they can to get some good shots of
you but sometimes its just not possible- they will not compromise your safety
for a photo.
