Dude Surf School’s Intermediate Surf Lessons are designed for those who already know how to catch waves and want to progress in their surfing, improve their technique and gain more consistency in the water. These classes focus on individual progression, reading the sea and perfecting the essential movements.
A surf lesson for intermediate students is a unique experience that combines excitement and evolution. It’s putting on your wetsuit, grabbing your board and getting into the sea with confidence, ready to learn new techniques and improve your performance. It’s getting to the beach, observing the sea and choosing the best waves to surf. It’s the feeling of riding a wave with more control and precision, improving what you already know.
How Intermediate Surf Lessons Work
The way Intermediate Surf lessons work is very simple. You only need to bring the motivation to improve your surfing: we take care of everything else.
Each intermediate surf lesson is divided into three moments: warm-up, technical explanation, and practice in the sea.
- Warm-up: After putting on your wetsuit and picking up your board, we begin the warm-up by the shoreline. This includes mobility exercises, cardiovascular activation, and specific muscle preparation to support intermediate surf performance.
- Technical explanation: In this phase, we cover intermediate surfing techniques, wave reading, spot selection, safety rules and perfecting movements. We’ll also practice posture, paddling and take-off adjustments on the sand, ensuring that each action in the water is more efficient.
- Practice in the sea: Now it’s time to put it all into practice in the ocean. You’ll catch green waves, practice more technical maneuvers and gain control of the board. The pace of the class is adjusted to the level of the group, allowing you to progress in a safe and fun way.
At the end of the lesson, we return together to the surf school, where you store the equipment used and share the experience with other surfers.
Each Intermediate Surf Lesson lasts 90 minutes.
