Beginner/Amateur
6+ hours of coaching in groups
The goal will be to work on the basic principles of surfskate, focusing mainly on understanding and executing a pump correctly, being able to generate their own speed, and the basic skills to be independent on top of the board. We will start with body awareness exercises and specific techniques with basic concepts of flexion-extension. later incorporate the notion of controlling our board by executing pressure on the edges of the board (frontside-backside), and the rotation of the upper body. If the group advances well, specific bottom drills and more advanced rotations can be added to the class. First steps on the ramp. Visualization of surf situations and introduction to maneuvers on flat ground.
