Surfing

What to discover

Surfing combines movement, balance and attention to the sea. Begin by watching how waves approach the beach, then learn about the board and practice with an instructor. Success can be a first steady stance, a thoughtful question or learning when to stay on shore.

About the discovery

Pico imagines riding a wave all the way to the beach. Tati wants to understand how the board stays beneath his feet. Together they discover that patience and listening are part of every adventure.

Wave watchers: From a safe spot on shore, draw three waves. Notice where they break and compare their shapes. Before a lesson, ask your instructor what makes today’s conditions suitable for beginners.

Plan your visit

Choose qualified instruction and conditions suited to your ability. Ask about currents, equipment and local hazards before entering the water. Families should confirm the lesson’s age and swimming requirements.
