First-Time/Beginner Surfers
Your instructor will meet you at the shop, pick out your boards and walk with you to the Tamarindo beach. He or she will brief you on important surfing safety information and explain the current water conditions. You’ll spend a
little time learning the hows and the whys of getting into the right position on the board and paddling. It’s your lesson, so interrupt us any time with questions! Next comes the part everyone is the most excited/worried about: how to stand up. Your teacher will demonstrate the method that he or she feels will be the most effective way of getting you to your feet. You practice it under the watchful eye of your instructor who will correct your position until he or she is convinced you’ve got it.
Now you’re really hot, so into the water you go! We’ll walk out with you into chest-deep water, helping you get used to managing your board in the waves. On the first few waves you get a push but by the end of the lesson you’ll be doing the paddling yourself. When your instructor’s work is done, you’ll be able to practice on your own for a few hours if you’re not too tired!
Age is no obstacle
You are not too old, too young, too out-of-shape or too clueless to learn to surf!
