WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

This online course covers the basics you need to get started with surfing.

There is of course much more to learn but here is a good foundation of what you will learn:

What are the different parts of a surfboard?

Many beginning surfers quickly make the mistake of choosing a surfboard that is too difficult. You will learn which board is best to choose as a beginning surfer and why.

What are the

priority rules?

How do you make sure you are as little in the way of other surfers as possible and make it safe for everyone in the water? You will learn basic etiquette and right-of-way rules.

How to pop-up quickly and in a balanced way?

The pop-up is one of the techniques that many beginning surfers quickly get wrong. Learn the basics of the pop-up and how to stand balanced on your board.

How to spot currents and how to get out of it?

A (rip)current CAN be dangerous. That's why we learn to recognize a rip current and learn how to best deal with it and use it to our advantage.

When and how do you get past the break?

If you really want to learn how to surf you need to go a little further out to sea. Learn how to paddle and use the 'turtle roll' to get behind broken waves.

How to wax your new surfboard for grip?

Often it is necessary to wax your first hardtop surfboard. Learn exactly how to do this and how to get the perfect wax layer on your board.

REVIEW OF THE FREE BEGINNER COURSE:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I started surfing this summer (2021). My goals were to stand on the board in the broken waves and have fun.

The more I surfed, the more I wanted to learn about it.

Pepijn explains the different steps of surfing in videos so that it is possible to watch it again.

Just bought my first (softtop) board thanks to Pepijn's personal coaching in the private community.

My first session on it was great!

Since I started the course, I know what to focus on and that makes the difference for me.

I went from the broken waves to the unbroken waves, which I could never have imagined."
