The Difference Between the Beginner Course and the Trial Longboard Surfing Lesson!

★ Point 1

The Beginner Course is a more hands-on and practical surfing lesson compared to the Trial Course.
The goal of the Beginner Course is to help you learn how to catch waves on your own.

★ Point 2

You’ll learn the essential three steps — from paddling to takeoff — so you can catch waves on your own.
This course involves a bit more physical activity than the Trial Longboard Surfing Lesson.
If you’re looking to start surfing seriously as a new hobby, this is the course we recommend!

★ Point 3

One of the challenges — and joys — of surfing is learning how to read the waves, and we’ll teach you just that.
As you improve your paddling and takeoff skills, you’ll get the chance to catch waves on your own in the latter part of the lesson.
The feeling of riding a wave by yourself is truly unbeatable!

If you feel that rfing School Course “Wanna be a Surfer!” might be a bit too advanced for you right now, we recommend trying Longboard Surfing Experience Course!
Please note that the lesson times change daily due to tide conditions. Be sure to check the schedule before making your reservation!

Please arrive at Sheena Surf before the meeting time!
In Okinawa, surfing time is limited, so please be careful not to be late!

After check-in, you will be asked to sign a liability waiver.
After changing into your wetsuit, it’s time to head out to the surfing spot!

It’s about a 10-minute drive from the shop to today’s location by our vehicle.

We’ve arrived at the spot! While walking down the hill, we’ll check the waves.

Holding your excitement, carry your surfboard and make your way to the beach!
While doing a proper warm-up, you will receive an explanation of today’s surf conditions and important safety instructions.
Unlike the Experience Course or the Paddling Challenge Course, the Land Training focuses on teaching the standard take-off method using the “1-2-3” steps to stand up.

The goal is for you to be able to choose your own waves and perform take-offs from paddling using the whitewater (soup).

To achieve this, we place a strong emphasis on paddling practice.
Paddling is incredibly important in surfing — it’s all about “Paddle first, paddle second!”

Don’t give up, keep pushing yourself!
Another important focus of this course is paddling. You will practice the paddling techniques learned during land training by entering the water and practicing in the shallow area where there are no waves.
When we reach the spot where the waves are breaking, the instructor will first select the wave.

Once given the signal, you will paddle and perform the take-off movement up to step ① that you practiced earlier.

At this point, it’s important to catch the wave properly before starting the movement; otherwise, you’ll lose speed and won’t be pushed by the wave.
After repeating this practice several times and getting the timing down from paddling to take-off step ①, it’s finally time to try standing up on the surfboard!
At first, the instructor will choose the waves for you, but gradually you will learn how to select waves and timing on your own.

It’s normal to have difficulty standing up at the beginning.
But after each ride, the instructor will give clear, detailed, and helpful advice to help you improve!
After trying a few waves, you’ll start to get the hang of it and successfully perform the take-off!

By the second half of the session, you’ll be able to choose your own waves and paddle into the take-off without the instructor’s signal.

If you remember the practice methods taught here well, you’ll be able to go back home and continue practicing in the ocean on your own!
Fun times always fly by.
When you return to the shop, be sure to ask about any parts of today’s course that were difficult or unclear! Our passionate surf-loving staff will be happy to help you out.

Your surfing journey has just begun.
Saying “I am a surfer” with confidence is still ahead, so let’s keep working hard!

It’s truly wonderful to see more and more surfing friends joining along the way.
Please come back to Sheena Surf again anytime!

Thank you!! Peace!!
