What the day feels like
What five lessons feel like
Each two‑hour lesson is a compact block of coached practice: beach-based introductions and technique drills followed by guided water time to practise paddling, wave selection and standing. Over the five lessons the emphasis shifts from standing up and trimming to paddling out, duckdiving or turtle-rolling and refining turns so you leave with a clear set of progressive skills.
