Course Outline For Intermediates

The main aim of a the 5 day Intermediates Surf Course is to help you to correct any “bad habits” developed over time, perfect your style and learn new surfing techniques/manouveres.

Our instructors can help you learn how to duck-dive correctly so you can easily get outback, you can then learn about your position in the line-up, timing/wave selection and take-off. You can then work on improving your bottom turns and learn how to cut-back and use the pocket/power of the wave to increase you rides. Progression = More waves = Progression!

For those of you who want to take your surfing to the next level you can learn how to pull off some of the more radical manouveres such as “floaters”, “re-entries”, and prepare yourself for what most surfers consider the ultimate surfing experience how to stall and prepare yourself to get barrelled!

learn to bail out ;-)

NB: Please note for safety reasons and out of respect for the local surfing communities all of the surf courses take place on the beach breaks in Playa Famara.
