Our
Process
These windsurfing, wing-foiling or surfing courses are aimed at improvers, intermediates and aspiring wave riders. Our objective is to make learning new skills and/or improving current abilities as easy as possible.
1.
We’ll start most of our lessons on land using simulators to learn new techniques. We continue to repeat these steps over and over again until our bodies memorize the motions like learning to dance.
The fluid repetitions are first used in easy conditions before we master the skills for advanced oceans. Shawna moves around the group addressing each individual’s personal needs and skill levels.
2.
The afternoons are spent on the water. Shawna moves around the group addressing each individual’s personal needs and skill levels.
3.
Evenings are spent on the town enjoying local dining for those who would like to join.
In the event of no wind days hiking and surfing adventures will be arranged with Shawna guiding the way.
Private
Lessons
Shawna is also available for private lessons for windsurfing, surfing, SUP and wing-foiling.
