CURRICULUM
In the specialized signature Four Lesson Curriculum I have designed, learn all the basics and fundamentals from beginner, intermediate to advanced levels. In the Curriculum You will learn all the secrets, basics, fundamentals, aspects and tips as described in the outline I have designed. Those who are ready to learn all the basics and fundamentals sign up for the Curriculum. It is very important to get a board assessment which takes a minimum of two lessons to acquire. I recommend the four lesson Curriculum for the novice who is serious about getting into the sport of surfing. This is why it is very important to take at least a four lessons so that technical advice on gear, secrets, wave tracking and tips so that I have enough time to work with You. Many who go through the surf school attest that they should have received a board assessment before they purchased wrong board dimensions from unqualified sources thus they have to sell the board and then purchase the correct board size! Safety, Equipment and Wave Tracking is covered in detail which takes at least four lessons to learn. Ocean Training, Wave Knowledge too is vital to insure proper positioning in the line up and timing to catch waves.
I do recommend the four lesson Curriculum which will allow a sufficient amount of time and a good enough foundation so You can surf on Your own with safety and confidence. This specialized detailed program is very informative and technical information is given to insure that You purchase proper equipment, wave knowledge and safety. After the lessons, You will be properly geared up with the right equipment too! During the Curriculum it's best to buy Your board so that I can teach You on Your own board. In just four lessons I will reduce your learning curve by five to ten years.
