THE FORMAT

Semi‑private, focused coaching

The Double Up lesson pairs two students with a single instructor for concentrated, hands‑on coaching—more attention than a large group lesson and fewer bodies in the lineup.

THE EXPERIENCE

Shared progress, friendly rivalry

Designed for two companions, the lesson turns learning into a shared challenge: practice, compare, and see who rides the most waves with flair.

THE BENEFIT

Avoids the group crush

By keeping numbers low, the lesson minimizes crowding and maximizes opportunities for individualized feedback and repeated wave time.
