DESCRIPTION: Learn to surf on one of the Gold Coast's most picturesque beaches with this simple 3 step lesson:
Step 1: The initial stage is a demonstration by a member of our Surf Crew on the techniques, and positions of the various aspects of surfing. Everything from the holding of the board, mounting and paddling to standing up is demonstrated. This gives our students something in their mind to start building their learning process on and gives them a mental picture of the movements.
Step 2: The next Learn to Surf Lesson progression is to take our boards to the beach. Once again, the same movements as were initially demonstrated, are shown again. With lots of help and feedback, students practice these movements on the sand and get the feeling of what needs to be done in the water when you catch the wave.
Step 3: Once you are comfortable with this (and after some safety reminders), we hit the water and this is where the fun really starts to happen — practice in the waves. This is where the real action takes place! Everyone enjoys the fun and challenge of riding the whitewater and the wipeouts that happen while trying to put all this new knowledge to use.
