• Safety in the Impact Zone: Advanced techniques for efficiently and safely getting past the whitewater with your large board.

• The Perfect Take-Off: Synchronize your paddling to gain speed and execute the take-off (standing up) at the optimal moment to glide onto the wave.

• Initial Gliding Techniques: Control your direction on the wave (straight glide, initial angle) and understand how weight displacement affects the board.

• Paddle Management in Waves: Utilize the paddle as a third point of support and a rudder for balance, speed, and basic turns.

• Rules of Priority and Etiquette: Integrate into the line-up with respect and knowledge of essential surfing rules.
