Program

The other half of the day is free time for you to rest or visit the island. Each lesson is unique, ensuring real progress throughout the camp. Your surf progression throughout your stay.
You will experience the 3 main types of lessons:
- Core: The primary 3-hour lesson. 1 hour and 30 minutes at the center (focusing on technique, understanding, and targeted drills). 1 hour and 30minutes in the waves to apply directly in real conditions. During your stay, you will have this class 3 times, each time different and adapted to your progress.
- Boost: A 2-hour class at the center designed to boost and use your energy to surf lighter, and lock in efficient movement. You’ll have this lesson once.
- Amplify: This 3-hour class at the Center is all about mobility and physical + mental integration. 1 hour and 30 minutes of stretching and breathing session (flexibility, recovery, and nervous system control). 1 hour and 30 minutes of board sports cross-training session (surf trainer, skills transfer, coordination). You will also have this lesson once.
