The Group Bodysurf Lesson is a great way to gain confidence and awareness in the ocean by learning how to swim through the impact zone and surf waves in the simplest way possible — without a surfboard. 

Over the course of this two-hour lesson, you will learn essential ocean knowledge, including how to avoid potential hazards such as surfers, rip currents, stingrays and other marine life. 

Participants will also learn how to identify a safe zone to enter the ocean, how to swim out through and dive under waves in the impact zone, and how to ride waves back to shore using nothing more than your body.

Bodysurfing is a crucial tool in the beginner surfer’s repertoire, and offers a completely different and unique connection with the ocean that will ultimately reduce your learning curve when it comes time for surfing with a surfboard.

Here's a bit of what we teach:

• Distinguishing an optimal break
• Generating a surf report
• Understanding how/why waves form and break
• Entering and exiting the water safely and identifying hazards
• Getting under oncoming waves
• Swimming stroke techniques for navigating the impact zone
• Catching and riding whitewater waves in the streamline position
• Using fins and a handplane
• Turning right and left while riding waves, and stopping
• Treading water while conserving your energy in deep water
• Catching and riding green waves back to shore
