The Surf Survival Course offers a tailored experience designed to suit each surfer's individual skill level. Whether you're looking to boost your overall confidence in the water to enhance your surfing skills or seeking advanced training for tackling big waves, we're here to assist you.
In this course, you'll explore the physiology of the body during breath-hold and learn how to quickly and effectively take deep breaths. More importantly, you'll master techniques to remain calm under pressure, a vital skill in challenging surf conditions. Additionally, the Surf Survival Course provides a fun and engaging way to bond with friends, challenging each other through a variety of underwater games that not only build skills but also enhance enjoyment.
Unlike freediving, which emphasizes achieving maximum relaxation before a breath-hold, surfing requires you to manage your breath while your body is already under stress and your heart rate is elevated due to a wipeout. To prepare you for these intense scenarios, we incorporate simulation exercises that mimic these stressful conditions, ensuring you're ready to face real-world surfing challenges confidently and safely.
