What are our OBJECTIVES?
The first and foremost goal is to get you away from work and enjoying the surf. To be on this group you don't need to surf like Kelly Slater, you just need to know the basics. This course is aimed at those who have surfed before or followed a beginner course at some time or those who have gotten a little rusty from lack of time in the water.
The focus of this group is on your individual surfing. Once you have learnt how to take off on a wave, you start to develop your own style and this is when timely error correction will ensure that your surfing develops quickly and properly.
Experienced surfers may wish to bring their own board(s) and wetsuits. However we supply both three and two millimeter wetsuits and will select a board to suit your ability, height-weight and the conditions.
Course details
The long weekend experiences are specially designed for those surfers who need to away from the office and get more from their surfing. This is your opportunity to get away, chill with the surf crew and get you back into the water. Hangout with the surf school instructors on the weekend and follow the crew up and down the coast in search of better waves.
Rough course Outline for intermediate surfers
