IMPROVER SURF LESSONS

What is an improver surf lesson?

Our improver surf lesson is designed to help you master the skills to progress your surfing to the next stage. All while building water confidence and wave knowledge.

During the 2-hour improver surf lessons, you’ll work on building on what you have already learned in the beginner sessions. By focusing on refining skills such as your pop-up, surfboard control, positioning, paddle technique, and maneuvering.

This lesson is a great option to bridge the gap between “beginner to intermediate” surfers. Remaining in the white water waves gives you a chance to perfect the skills needed to paddle out back.
