PROGRAM FOR INTERMEDIATE SURFERS

We also offer classes for those who have already fallen in love with surfing, aiming to progress, refine their technique, and catch more waves. The more confident you feel at the spot, the better you control the board and understand wave handling — the more enjoyment you get from the session. To accelerate progress, practice is key. That's why we've opened groups for advanced surfers.

Overview

Everything you need for your success in surfing:

Spot and time selection based on forecasts, group levels, and the number of people at the line-up.
A team of professional coaches with extensive teaching experience.
Theory: new elements, maneuvers, introduction to different spots, and their operating principles.
Detailed video analysis of each training session.

At this stage, surfers use minimalibu and fanboard:

Minimalibu, typically ranging from 7 to 9 feet, is quite wide and thick like a softboard. This board works well for small and gentle waves.
Funboard — a wide board from 6.5 to 8 feet, usually with a round nose. It's more maneuverable than a longboard but has more volume than a shortboard, making it easy to paddle and maintain balance.

Both boards are suitable for a step-by-step transition, allowing you to improve technique, increase the duration of rides, and catch more waves.

Elements and skills you will learn

Advanced pop-up. Learning pop-up techniques: hand positioning when turning on the wave, angle pop-up, grab, and jumping pop-up.
Board acceleration. Necessary to get past a section that's about to break. Moreover, acceleration serves as the foundation for many maneuvers.
Wave selection. One of the most crucial skills in surfing is the ability to 'read' the wave and determine if you can catch it.
Positioning. In surfing, it's important to choose not only the wave but also your position relative to the peak, and we teach our students this aspect too.
Cutback. Turning from the wave's shoulder back towards the peak.
Bottom turn. A turn from the wave's bottom up to the wall. It's used after the pop-up or before other maneuvers, for instance, before a snap.
