FROM THE FOURTH DAY ONWARD:

- learn basic rules such as precedence and how to stand in the water with other surfers ( this phase requires as many days of practice as possible always followed by instructors)
LEVEL 2 : INTERMEDIATE COURSE
If you have already taken a surfing course but want to improve your style and technique, or just want to surf safely and correctly, then this is the level for you.
Instructors will evaluate your skills and you will improve by learning new tricks. For the intermediate level you will surf with custom made resin boards with the opportunity to try different types of boards depending on the waves and your starting level.
IN A 6-DAY INTERMEDIATE COURSE YOU WILL IMPROVE:
- Paddling technique
- Take off on clean waves
- Surfing in frontside and backside
- Backside railgrab
- Duckdive and eskimoroll
- Bottom turn
- Cutback
- Ability to surf shortboards, malibus and longboards
On days when conditions are not favorable (big sea, too much wind, etc…) theory lessons will be held, with instructional videos shown, and the most famous spots on the osola will be filmed, watching experienced surfers at work!
