In first place we meet at the school location, 30 meters away from the the beach. We have a little chat first to get to know each other a bit and your experience (or lack of :) at surfing and board sports. The right surfboard and a suitable wetsuit is chosen for you, wich you can dress it outside or change inside the bathhouse. As we head to the beach, we have the opportunity to check the waves at both north and south side of Ofir and choose where are the best conditions for the participants. The lesson begins with a good warmup. Then we begin teaching the technique: paddling, catching waves, stand up, take off, safety measures, ocean conditions etc. The third part is practicing the theory on the waves: help, advices and feedback from the coaches plus lots of fun! The last is moment is about reviewing the lesson, relaxation and enjoyment: includes stretching, breathing and feedfoward. Fastest way to learn and improve at surfing

Surf lessons at “The Salt Flow” Highly recommended. I had a two-hour one-on-one lesson with Rachel, who first explained everything to me on land and then gave great tips and assistance in the water.
