The lesson’s step-by-step:

- Stretching;

- Lesson on the sand to teach the right position on the board, paddling and standing on the board;

- Lesson in the water.

Remark: The lesson in the water is performed differently depending on the student’s level.  In the case of beginners, the instructor goes into the water holding the student’s board so as to guarantee the lesson’s safety.  When it’s time to really “catch the wave”, the instructor chooses the wave and pushes the student.  In the case of advanced students, both the instructor and the student go into the water with their boards.  In this learning stage the instructor uses techniques to develop the student’s independence in the water.

During the lessons, the instructor also teaches a little about wind, current, tide and how they affect the sea’s condition.
