Teaching Method
Our teaching method is adapted to the capacities, age and goals of every student. To all the students we provide the exercises to get the minimum levels of coordenative and physycal conditioning to have success on the surf training.
This conditioning is based on the tasks included in the wam up on the sand and on the water. For those who only search a pleasant activity and have fun we try to manage the effort to get the best of the session.
For those who strive to a higher level or even the competition level, our training also includes complementary physical and coordenative training, and uses other tools, as skates and vídeo recording to error correction.
