Description

Surfing - one of the most desirable yet difficult sports to master...until now.

In How To Surf, ex-pro junior surfers Ryan Baohm & Kale Brock take you through the fundamental teachings of surfing.

In the course, the underpinning skills of surfing, including paddling & water negotiation, wave selection, taking off & weight transfer, are emphasised with the knowledge that when these are mastered, progression through surfing's tiers becomes much, much easier & efficient.
