We'll meet you at your hotel or at the beach where we'll surf. Based on the weather, wave size, and your experience level we'll find one of the 7 surfing beaches in the area that will be best for you to get up on your board and riding waves in no time. It's most important to us that YOU are enjoying yourself, and that you're learning how to surf at a pace that feels good to you. We'll never send you off in waves that are too big or too strong. 'Cause that's no fun! Once we get to the beach, we'll start with an important part of surfing: the warm-up. We'll do some stretches and warming-up exercises, as to avoid unnecessary injuries. Next, we'll teach you the technique to get up on your board. We'll do this in the sand and do some "dry" practicing before we get into the water. This so called "pop-up" technique is an important foundation to get surfing as quickly and as safe as possible. We don't recommend learning this on your own. Once you're ready, we'll enter the water and get you up on some waves with our help. During the time in the water, we'll monitor your movements and explain where/how you can improve your surf. Jordan has an amazing eye for this! You can take a break at any time. We'll end the class with a talk on the beach, and (if available) some fruit, water or a fresh coconut. You can find more reviews of other surf students on our TripAdvisor page.

Then we will take you to the ocean for about an hour and forty-five minutes. You can apply everything you learned as you take your first waves.
