What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?

P

Coach Parker

surfing coach

If you have a surfboard that you’d like to learn on, I’d encourage you to bring those to build familiarity with your board! Otherwise, I do have some equipment you can use, but I’ll need you to reach out to see if they’d be the right fit for you.

Water, a towel (for after), sunblock, and for lessons longer than an hour an easy snack to go down (fruits, nuts, or protein bar).

What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?

P

Coach Parker

surfing coach

Working at summer camps as a water ski instructor and lifeguard, I have experience teaching children water sports. For kids, it is very important to choose equipment and surf conditions that are suitable not only for their age but their skill level and water competency. Just as important though, is making them feel secure and confident throughout the lesson. Therefore it is key that the parent or guardian work with me to tailor the lesson for their child(ren).

Coach Cj

surfing coach

Simple instructions are the best ones for all ages but especially kids. I keep high energy and enthusiasm and make the ocean an inviting environment for the kids! Those who are reluctant to get in the water may start their lesson off with me doing some simple body surfing in the white water or just spend time in the shallows so they can acclimate to the ocean.
