So you've had a surf lesson or five and you feel like you are ready to give it a go on your own. That is great and it is what we want to see from our students but please let me give you a few warnings first of all. During your surf lessons your coaches would have selected the best and safest area for you to surf in. Here at Soul Surfing this can take us an hour or so on some days. The ocean is a very powerful place and not something to ever be careless with. You need to understand the surf environment you want to enter so take the time to really analyse what the ocean currents and waves are doing.	Secondly, its not as easy on your own when you are trying to pick the right waves for yourself. During a lesson environment we are using our knowledge and experience to help you choose the right waves. This will take you time and many hours in the surf so please don't become disenchanted or negative. Give yourself time to learn this skill. There is about 25 separate skills to learn before you can say you have mastered the beginner phase of surfing. 5 of the most important ones are available to you right here. The other 20 we will happily give to you once you have completed at least 5 surf lessons with us or you can purchase the document from our online store.
	We offer advanced beginner and intermediate training programs so when you feel the time is right for you to come back to us and we will get you going in the right direction again (and that may be when you feel like you have hit a learning plateau or you just dont know how to get yourself progressing). These courses will help you the most once you have spent some time surfing on your own and analysing what you think is holding you back. Check our schedule here.
