Learn Surfing with Daniel

•
As an avid waterman my love for surfing, swimming and all things water started at a very young age. At 11, I caught my first wave, completely changing the trajectory of my life. Since then, surfing has become a pillar and priority. Surfing is more than just a sport. To me it’s a lifestyle, an art, an expression, and a meditation that brings unparalleled joy. With 10+ years experiencing teaching children and adults and a few years surfing and traveling around the globe, I’m back in Los Angeles, eager to share the stoke in the place where it all began.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonStart off with a land lesson, going over parts of the board, where to place yourself on the board, paddling and popping up! Review ocean safety and surfing etiquette. Then get out in the water and catch some waves, usually whitewash to start off with while I stabilize the board to ensure a fun ride. Start pushing the individual into waves if he/she progresses to that level.
Lesson 11+With placement and paddling into the wave down, now the individual will learn how to turn the board to ride down the line - the first ultimate intermediate step to surfing!
Lesson 4-10Teach the individual placement and help them learn how to paddle into their own waves. Assist with the push in if still necessary!
Lesson 2-3Depending on where we left off, pushing the individual into whitewash or real green waves out in the lineup if the waves are small enough.
