into our south coast beaches and the waves are empty!

Exploring
This week is all about getting you out of the white water
and chasing down the perfect waves. If the waves are pumping at 7am, you’ll be
up for a dawnie. If the waves a peeling endlessly until sunset, you’ll be
in. You’ll be exploring and discovering different breaks to challenge and improve
yourself.

Green Waves
Your instructors will introduce you to catching green waves,
have you working on your stance and turns, paddling technique and ocean
knowledge. Video coaching will show you clearly where you are struggling. This
course will really boost your surfing, providing you with the skills and
knowledge to take it to the next level.

Here are three tips to get
you started:

1. Work on your
paddling technique.

Having the right technique will make your paddling more
effective and less tiring which means catching more waves. You want to gain
maximum power from your paddling so always check your body position, look
slightly up and forward, cup your hands and make deep and powerful strokes.
Don’t paddle with two arms at the same time, this will only slow you down.
Spotting channels and understanding how to use them safely, makes for an easier
paddle out back.

2. Surf spots that
match your ability.

The lineups can get pretty crowded sometimes, add in a few
experienced surfers to the mix and it can create dangerous situations. That’s
not to say don’t challenge yourself with surfing harder breaks, just make sure
you know you can handle yourself out there. Stay safe and make sure you
understand the surf etiquette.

3. Have fun!
