SURF SK8 FOUNDATIONS & EMERGING: In our Surf Sk8 Foundations/Emerging program this is an introduction to skateboarding. For the surfer that is still not getting on their rails and doesn’t understand how their body works with their board and environment along with getting back foot reactivity. We will work on

• Basic skateboarding techniques & foot positioning & stance
• Develop Ollies
• Develop basic ramp riding techniques, where to look, stand and how to navigate turning & body awareness.
• Carving on a skateboard in a bowl Forehand and Backhand.
• Understanding how to carve on both Forehand and Backhand and turn and control in tighter sections
• Develop small Ollie airs on ramps and grabs & projection.
• Work on our foam pit and resi to develop aerial awareness.

SURF SK8 ADVANCED: This is an advanced lesson that helps Surfers learn how to do Airs correctly and develop the understanding of aerial awareness through basic progression and body movement. We learn basic airs right through to learning how to project ourselves off a ramp and where and when to grab our board to land on a ramp in the right position. We further capitalise on our 2 vertical axis rotations and corked flips which help with landing. Learning correct falling techniques as well as backfoot snap/pop on take off. This program has been developed to teach surfers how to develop correct aerial technique, from the pop of their back foot off the wave to understanding board and body projection, how to spin correctly & do backflips and corked flips with their board. Developing a solid technique that will become second nature in the surf. *Note we do not use carver boards and we will not be teaching you how to get to an air section on a wave. This is purely learning how to spin with a board and learn how to project your body.

PREREQUISITES: You will already be confident on a skateboard and have a good understanding of riding ramps.
