ABOUT OUR SURF LESSON PROGRAM: SSM Surf lessons take place away from the crowds at Ukumehame a.k.a. Thousand Peaks.  All necessary surf gear including surfboards, rash guards and booties will be provided for your lesson. At the beginning of class you will learn about water safety, wave etiquette and reef awareness. Coaches enter the water with you side-by-side and instruct with a “Hands-On” style of instruction that makes learning to surf fun and easy even for first timers. Students learn the most important fundamentals such as paddling, popping-up, stance, style, smooth turning and how to dismount safely back down to a seated position at rides end. This is the frame work that sets the tone for your entire experience, and you will find this instruction pays off BIG TIME once you’re in the line-up. With a little help picking out the right waves, and skillful push-in’s from your coach, you will be up and surfing in no time. This is surfing made easy folks! Having the right coach, the right board and the right spot is all it takes to get you started and stoked on SURFING. It doesn’t matter if you’re 5 or 75, this is your chance to learn  !
