We ontmoeten je in je hotel of op het strand waar we surfen. Op basis van het weer, de hoogte van de golven en je ervaringsniveau zullen we een van de 7 surfstranden in de omgeving vinden die het beste zijn om in een mum van tijd op je board te stappen en de golven te surfen!. Het is voor ons het belangrijkst dat JIJ het naar je zin hebt en dat je leert surfen in een tempo dat goed voor je voelt. We sturen je nooit in golven die te groot of te sterk zijn. Want dat is geen pretje! Eenmaal aangekomen op het strand, beginnen we met een belangrijk onderdeel van surfen: de warming-up. We doen wat rekken en strekken om onnodige blessures te voorkomen. Vervolgens leren we je de techniek om op te staan in de golf. We doen dit in het zand en oefenen "droog" voordat we het water in gaan. Deze zogenaamde "pop-up" techniek is een belangrijke basis om zo snel en veilig mogelijk te leren surfen. We raden af om dit in je eentje te leren. Als je klaar bent, gaan we het water in en zetten we je met onze hulp op de golven. Gedurende de tijd in het water zullen we je bewegingen volgen en uitleggen waar / hoe je je surf kunt verbeteren. Jordan heeft hier een geweldig oog voor! Je kunt op elk gewenst moment een pauze nemen. We eindigen de les met een praatje op het strand en (indien beschikbaar) wat fruit, water of een verse kokosnoot. Meer beoordelingen van onze andere surf studenten vind je op onze TripAdvisor pagina. Andere dingen waar je op moet letten Zorg ervoor dat je voor en na de les voldoende eet en water drinkt. De Costa Ricaanse zon is heet en krachtig, wees voorbereid. We raden aan om kostbaarheden zoveel mogelijk thuis te laten. Glimlach, je bent in het Caribisch gebied!
