The Point Break surfing course for beginners is designed for two types of people, that is, for those approaching surfing for the first time and for those who have already surfed sometimes, maybe in the past, and therefore want to start again from the basics and learn the right moves to be enjoying riding waves.
Point Break Watersport Center will introduce you to the world of surfing in a fun and encouraging way, and during your course we will teach you how to surf easily, safely and in the right way. With this course, the team will provide you with the essential knowledge that will allow you not only to make the most of your sessions, but above all to get excited and move on to the next level, aiming for bigger waves. The goal of this beginner course is therefore to convey our passion, make you feel comfortable in the waves, and progressively allow you to connect with the ocean.
What will you learn with our beginner surfing course?
During the lessons, you will analyze together the basic techniques of surfing: to do this, the lessons will be divided into a theory part and a practical part. Point Break Watersport Center will start with the theory and then move on to warm-up, water practice and final stretching. To allow you to take as many waves as possible, the team will take you to surf on waves that break on sandy beaches or on easy reef breaks, where you can have a safe and comfortable experience as you explore the waves for the first time. You will therefore be able to ride the foam of the already broken waves and your first small and easy green waves not yet broken.
