Need a surfing lesson? Here’s some information on how it starts for beginners.
Once you have had a base info session on what to do and what not to do, and safety info on the ocean itself and what to look out for, you head down at low tide for your first go. Ocean awareness is important and should not be forgotten, ripe rides, sand banks, rocks, other surfers etc, and all that kind of stuff.
First up is paddling, and how to get yourself up on the board. Usually all this is done at low tide. Then you start to progress into how to get through the white water and how to catch a wave as they say. Small gentle waves first up.
Then its all go and good luck, as you progress into doing few simple turns on the face of a wave.
There are many surf schools and board rentals places, some with locals who have been here many years and know all about the different beaches and what’s best for you.
Talk to a few surf schools to get a feel of why they may be better for you than others, everyone has different needs, are yours being met?
