Breaking down the lesson
Step 1 : Meet your instructor : Your journey begins with meeting your surf instructor, they'll introduce you to the fundamentals of surfing, and guide you through your surf journey.
Step 2 : About the surfboards : With guidance from your instructor, you'll learn the ins and outs of your surf board and its handling techniques.
Step 3 : The popup : This is where you go from lying down on a board to standing on it, kinda more like an awkward frog jump, but critical to standing and riding your wave. It also doubles as very good warmup.
Step 4 : Get comfortable : Once you enter the water, your instructor will help you get comfortable with the flow of the ocean and the surfboard.
Step 6 : Popup and catch your wave : After you get comfortable, its time to standup on your board. Your instructor spots the best waves for you, helping you to find your rhythm and popup on time.
Step 7 : Repeat step 6
Safety is important at Octopus Surf. 15 to 20mins of your first lesson is spent on land with your instructor helping you understand theory, beach dynamics, board handling, & riding waves safely
