SURFING LEVELS

Find out what level of surfing you have

If you tell us about your skills and experience before coming to MojoSurf we will be able to determine your surfing level. This will allow us to plan your training time to maximise your improvement, we will prepare surf lessons to suit your profile.

“Intermediate level” can mean anything from a few days to a couple of decades of surfing experience. That’s why we use a level system from 0 to 5. When you’re here, you will learn alongside other surfers at the same level as you. We never mix surfers of different levels.

Here, we explain the specific skills of each level so you can let us know which one you identify with.

Level 0

For those who have never surfed before and would like to give it a try, or even for those surfers who have tried to learn on their own without any professional guidance.

In the first class, we will start with a theoretical-practical explanation on the beach from scratch.

Level 1

You will learn:

• How to select and catch white waters (foam) without assistance.
• Efficient and safe paddling through the white water.
• The differences between trimming and carving.
• The “Stand Up” and basic stance, the “Functional Stance”
• Making small “directional changes” on the white water with the correct gaze.
• Basic safety rules.

If you master all the techniques during your stay, we will move you to Level 2.
