Q. How long does
it take to learn to surf?
A. With the help
of a knowledgeable instructor one can ride a small
wave in the first lesson.
To become an accomplished surfer one must devote
some time to it just like any other sport. |
Q. Do I have to
be a good swimmer?
A. Yes. You must
also be comfortable in the ocean. We will only teach
beginners in waves of one
to two feet. Even though you are connected to your
board by a surf leash you should be able to
swim to shore. In small surf this is normally less
than 100 yards. We also will assist you
with your swimming technique. Swimming in the ocean
is different than a pool or lake. |
Q. Can I learn
to surf?
A. If you are in
reasonably good physical condition and have the
desire, you can. |
Q. What about
sea life?
A. The waters of
The Outer Banks are not populated with dangerous sea
life. There can be the
occasional outbreak of jellyfish. These are not
generally very potent. |
