Safety First!!!

We all get excited about being in the water and catching awesome waves but as a beginner surfer you should know the ins and outs of personal safety.

This weeks video will show you swimming and rescue skills plus what to do when you get a cut or lacaration. Cuts may not be a big problem when you are here at home but when you are on surf trip in the middle of nowhere its crucial thing to undertstand!!

So this week question is what should you do when you have a cut? Email me with your answer and if you the first to answer correctly you will receive $25 off the surf camp!  Good Luck

Lesson 3 - All about Waves

This week you will learn about waves.  When you are finshed you should understand what a right and left wave is, what a face is, how waves are formed, and how to measure wave height! That way you can brag on what an awesome wave you are going to ride this summer.

Question - Is wave direction on the beach the same as wave direction when you are in the water? If you are the first to answer this in class on Saturday you will get $10 off a lesson with Peter. ( oh and it is not only a yes or no question you will have to have an explanation. :) Good Luck

Check out this Video and see you in surfing class this Saturday. Mere
