SEA KREW · YOUR FIRST SURF LESSON, STEP BY STEP

FIRST LESSON IN
ERICEIRA

What a first day in the water actually looks like — a real session with a Sea Krew coach, step by step.

STEP 1 · BEFORE THE WATER

BRIEFING ON THE SAND

Ocean safety, how waves break, where to stand and how to fall. Your coach reads the conditions and picks the calmest beach for the day.

STEP 2 · DRY RUN

POP-UP PRACTICE

Lie down, paddle, push, feet. You repeat it on the sand until it feels automatic — before a single wave.

STEP 3 · INTO THE WATER

WHITEWATER FIRST

Waist-deep, soft-top board, coach right beside you. The broken waves close to shore are where every surfer starts — and where your first rides happen.

STEP 4 · FIRST RIDES

FROM KNEES TO FEET

The first rides are wobbly. That is normal. Your coach gives the push at the right moment and one correction at a time — nothing more.

STEP 5 · IT CLICKS

STANDING UP

Most beginners ride whitewater waves on their feet in the first session. No guarantees — it is the ocean — but this is how it usually goes.
