Is Surfing Safe?
Surfing is inherently dangerous due to unpredictable ocean conditions and the physical demands of the sport. Taking a professional surf lesson can significantly minimize the risk of injury. Surf instructors teach essential safety protocols that can help build awareness and confidence in the water. By learning the fundamentals of surfing through a series of lessons, surfers can better navigate hazards, learn to respect ocean currents and improve their overall safety and enjoyment of the sport.
What is a Liability Release Waiver?
When you sign up for your surf lesson online, you will be emailed a digital copy of our Liability Release Waiver. This proactive measure allows you to review and familiarize yourself with the associated risks involved with surfing prior to your arrival. All surf lesson participants will be required to read and sign this waiver before the start of the surf lesson. Participants under the age of 18 will need a parent or legal guardians consent.
What is Surfers Myelopathy?
Surfer’s Myelopathy is an acute syndrome characterized by nontraumatic paraparesis or paraplegia. While it is often times associated with first-time surfers, it can also occur in activities involving hyperextension of the back such as gymnastics, yoga and Pilates. If you experience any pain or discomfort during your lesson, we strongly encourage you to inform your instructors. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities and we are here to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience.
