Teaching philosophy
Mojosurf instructors use logic and analytics and they are able to teach all kinds of people, of any age and different abilities. They communicate specific body movements in the simplest way. The surf can be divided into several specific skill sets that can be built one on top of the other, speeding up the process and increasing confidence.
During your stay in Mojosurf, you will have a good time catching waves, but the goal is to finish the course being able to continue progressing when you are alone. In each class, you will learn a specific skill, but the most important thing is that you will know why you are learning it.
There are many things that are much easier to communicate with a screen and a blackboard, rather than on the beach. The theoretical classes cover all aspects of surf including: wave formation, wave forecasts, paddling, duckling techniques, and agility techniques on the board. Video analysis is a fantastic training tool. The videos allow instructors to show perfectly how you do it and what you need to do. It shows you the difference between what you think you are doing and what you are really doing. Level 3 and 4 surfing is based on video analysis, but they use this tool in some moments of all levels of surf.
Your surf level
If you tell Mojosurf your skills and experience before reaching them, you will allow them to plan your training time to maximize your improvement. "Intermediate level" can mean from a few days to a pair of decades surfing, for this reason Mojosurf use a system of levels from 1 to 4. When you are here, you will learn along with other surfers with the same level as you. Mojosurf never mix surfers of different levels.
Level 1
Level 1 begins with white water. Mojosurf will not go inside until you master the basic techniques at this level.
If you are in this level:
- You will learn to select and catch waves without help
- You will learn how to slow down or accelerate
- The difference between trimming and carving
- You will learn the start and basic stance, the "functional stance"
If during your stay, you master all the techniques, Mojosurf will quickly move you to the next level.
Level 2
Level 2 surfers are now able to stand comfortably on the board and are focused on catching waves that have not yet broken (not white water).
If you are in this level:
- You will learn how to row in an efficient and safe way
- You will learn to have a good choice of waves, when to start paddling and when to get on your feet
- "You will learn to turn when you get up, to generate speed, understand the rules of surfing (refers to unwritten rules, the rules you have among surfers when they are all catching waves, if you leave it to someone or catch it, etc.) and know what to do in each situation, surf without breaking the wave
Level 3
Level 3 surfers are able to catch big waves without any help.
Most of the training is done through videos, which will allow you to see exactly all your movements and detect your mistakes. Mojosurf will start with how to find the fastest trimming line, and then how, why and when you need to make a change of direction using cutbacks, and also how to climb over breaking sections.
Level 4
Level 4 consists of training sessions recorded in videos in which surfers are able to perform maneuvers in the critical part of the wave with speed.
Mojosurf establish surfing areas that are limiting for the surfer and they will help you discover what your best skills are. The goal is for you to leave MojoSurf being able to detect your own faults and train yourself in the future.
