Surfers will also do out of water exercises and practice training techniques. They will improve their paddle power and stability.

Level 2 – Intermediate: learn how to generate speed, as well as how to bottom turn and come up the face.

Level 3 – Advanced: surfers will learn how to pick the right waves and fine tune takeoff position, as well as the timing between wave periods and sets.
