Highlights
Outing Highlights
Personalized, hands-on coaching
This is one-on-one instruction focused on your specific goals: learning the pop-up, paddling into waves, and refining technique under a certified instructor’s guidance.
Ocean-safety fundamentals on shore
The lesson includes basic ocean-safety training on the beach before entering the water, so time ashore is built into the session rather than tacked on.
Two hours split between shore and surf
Expect a compact lesson structure: a beach-based assessment and technique work, followed by the bulk of the session in the water practicing paddling, catching waves, and standing up.
