What to expect
You'll meet at the beach where instructors brief you on ocean conditions and basic technique. Expect time in the shallows learning paddle mechanics, pop-up timing and balance before moving into deeper water. The instructors watch your progress and offer corrections—some will be encouragement, some direct. You'll spend most of the four hours in or near the water. Conditions vary daily; some days produce clean sets others don't, but the crew keeps things moving. Bring a towel (not supplied) and wear sunscreen before arrival.
