They’ll get to learn a new skill whilst spending the day at the beach, it doesn’t get much better than that!
Whilst surfing can be a challenging and difficult sport to master, with a surfing lesson you can pick up the basics relatively quickly. Everyone has their own pace – some will get the hang of it after a couple of goes and others will need a lot more practice. It is relatively easy to pick up the fundamental skills needed, practicing first on the sand before entering the water. You’ll be able to stand up on the board with the small waves but transitioning to the big waves out at sea will take more time.
You can learn to surf at any age so it doesn’t matter if you’re only trying it for the first time at 50 years old. No matter what how old you are before you try out surfing, it is important you have a few of the fundamental skills. These include being a competent swimmer and also being in a relatively good physical condition as you’ll need to be strong enough to paddle and duck dive.
After one surf school lesson you’ll know the basics of surfing and may even be able to stand up by yourself on a wave. In one day you’ll learn how to balance yourself on the board, paddle, duck dive and also the pop up move. You’ll fall off the board a lot but that’s all part of learning the technique and eventually you’ll get the hang of it and hopefully be able to catch your first wave all in one day. However, like any other skill, surfing takes practice but the more you do it, the faster you’ll learn.
