The class moves deliberately: a brief shore-side briefing, then onto the water for tailored drills and coached attempts at waves or maneuvers. Expect focused, practical corrections from coaches who adapt drills to your balance, paddling, and surf-readiness so the single hour delivers measurable improvement.
