3- Learn to read the ocean

The ocean is a natural element that requires permanent vigilance. For your safety, it is therefore essential to understand the formation of the waves, the functioning of the "spot", the ideal placement to take advantage of the wave... For those who wish to continue learning, the surf instructor will also advise you on: the size of the waves, the wind intensity, its direction, the tide...

4- To get good reflexes to stand on the board

Do you want to continue ? Many surf schools are also there to help you further with : more intensive courses, advice on the choice of your personal board...
