What the day feels like

What the Two Hours Feel Like

The session is compact and concentrated: a brief land‑based warm‑up and safety briefing gives way to in‑water drills—paddling work, wave catching, pop‑up practice and stance adjustments—with the instructor tweaking technique in real time. The closing minutes are reserved for a focused review so you leave with a clear path for further practice.
