What will you learn in our surfing basic class? In our beginners' course, you will be introduced to surfing step by step, receive valuable tips on safety in the water and can benefit directly from our many years of experience here on the island of Sal. Our courses start with an introduction to surfing theory (equipment, safety instructions, weather and wave knowledge) and we practise standing up and finding your balance on the surfboard together on the beach. We then start with your first experiences in the water and show you paddling techniques and the correct position on the surfboard. In our course, you will learn how to deal safely with currents and how to behave correctly in the water. As well as learning the right technique, you will also learn how to judge waves correctly, how to fall safely and how to behave in the line-up. At the end of the course, you will be able to surf simple waves independently, have a sound understanding of safety aspects and be familiar with basic surfing techniques.
