Come along on this "Learn to Surf" day! You'll be joined by a group of Urban Diversion surf newbies (advanced surfers are welcome too, especially if you can help share tips!) for a perfect beginner support squad. We'll start with a brief intro into surfing on land - complete with basic techniques, tips, and drills to practice standing up - before hitting the water to practice our new skills. After catching some waves and splashing around, we'll head to a popular food joint nearby for some local delicious tacos and margaritas. Nothing builds an appetite better than a day in the water!
These are not professional lessons, but surfers giving you tips and showing you how to ride the waves at whatever level you may be at... if you already have a board and wetsuit and want to show your UD friends some tips just let us know
Whether you are an expert surfer or have never surfed before, this event is perfect for those that want to spend the day on the water with friends at one of the most gorgeous beaches in the Bay Area!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
In this intro to surfing, you'll be learning much more than simply how to stand up on a surf board!
Each participant will be taught about wave breaks, ocean conditions, safety in and out of the water, wave etiquette, paddling, push up and pop up techniques as well as balancing. All students will start out in the shallow water riding the whitewash until they are comfortable with venturing further out.
You'll be enjoying a supportive environment with fellow beginner surfers at a beach with beginner-friendly waves. Come have fun experiencing how to surf and explore the flow with us. If you've ever been nervous to try surfing, this is your chance to be adventurous and try something new with the support of your friends and host. Let's catch some waves!
If you've surfed before, come out and shred some waves with us. The more the merrier!
