They say 90% of surfing is understanding the ocean, and we want to turn any fear and uncertainty into a newfound respect and understanding. We draw from our years of experience and collegiate understanding of the sciences behind what makes waves and our boards move through the ocean.
Here are some topics we cover:
Surf History: from Gods to GOATS
Board design: How to choose your equipment
Physics of fins: Explaining motion in the ocean
Oceans & atmosphere: From wind to waves
Mechanics of waves: bathymetry explained
Reading forecasts: How to know before you go
Etiquette and Respect: Get the Hawaiian breakdown.

First time surfer
Level 1: Surfing Foundations
For those who have never surfed before, or have a couple sessions under their belt and want to work on the necessary fundamentals to build a strong foundation for their surfing. Level 1 surfers will work with instructors in gentle waves with highlights of ocean safety, etiquette and theory in the lineup, as well as, the basic fundamentals of pop ups and riding their waves to the shore.
Beginner/Intermediate
Level 2: Advance Your Surf Skills
Suited for surfers who can catch most of their own waves, but still need a little assistance from time to time. If you are a passionate surfer but maybe don’t live by the beach, this is a perfect refresher to help polish off the dust. Level 2 looks to advance and refine the skills you already have and make you more confident in their execution. Learning the art of wave selection as well as how to turn down the line and track for long rides are the highlights of this level. Choose level 2 if you are looking to improve your timing and precision so that you are catching your longest waves unassisted by the end of your week.
Intermediate
Level 3: Precision & Performance Training
For surfers that are more experienced and can confidently catch their own waves and track down the line. In Level 3 our aim is to hone in on style, lines, and execution of more advanced maneuvers, including cutbacks, proper pumping, and turns. Level 3 surfers are seeking to refine techniques and elevate overall performance through the assistance of professional coaching and video analysis.
