Phase 1: Welcome & Gear Up
Meet Your Tribe: You’ll gather at our beachfront camp, where you’ll meet your instructor and the other surfers

Ocean Safety: How to identify currents, handle your board, and communicate in the water.
The Pop-Up: You’ll practice the fundamental "pop-up" motion on the sand until it feels like second nature.
Surf Etiquette: The "rules of the road" to keep everyone safe and happy in the lineup.
Phase 2: (The Fun Begins!)
One-on-One Coaching in the Water: This is where the magic happens. Your instructor will be right beside you in the water, guiding you every step of the way.
Paddling: They’ll help you find your balance on the board.
Catching Waves: They’ll give you a gentle push at the perfect moment, so you can focus on standing up.
You’ll feel the wave take you, and with your instructor’s guidance, you’ll pop up to your feet and experience the incredible rush of riding your first wave!
