Private 1-on-1 Paddle Surf Lessons
$89.00 each (1 hour)

This accelerated course is a must before venturing out in the surf. Prior to your stand up paddle surf lesson, we recommend taking an introductory flat-water lesson or putting in some personal water time before venturing out in the surf. The dynamics, manners and flow of the surf lineup will be new even to experienced prone-paddle surfers. Proper surf instruction is necessary in order not to be dangerous to others in the water. It is crucial for you to get trained on stand up paddle surf technique and etiquette before you get to the lineup. In this lesson we will cover: ideal equipment for the surf (board, paddles, leashes, deck pads, etc.), etiquette, paddling and turning techniques, getting out to the waves, the dynamics of the line-up with stand up paddle surfers and where you fit in, catching waves, hazardous situations, handling wipeouts in the surf, keeping your equipment under control, and more. After land and flat-water instruction, we will paddle out to a controlled surf break to catch some small to medium sized waves depending on the local conditions and your personal comfort level. Lesson includes board, paddle, personal flotation device, and qualified instruction including water safety, playtime and digital water photos delivered via email. Custom lesson times are available.
