OVERVIEW:

LEVEL 1 SURF-SKATE COURSE

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: BEGINNER

DURATION: TWO DAYS

GENDER: MIXED

A two day surf-skating course for complete beginners.

Never surf-skated before? You're in for a treat.

Over the weekend you'll be taken through our 9-step beginner pathway - building up the absolute basics, up-skilling the whole time instilling within you skills you can use to help improve your surfing.

Over the weekend you'll be guided through our longboard specific curriculum teaching you the unique skills you need to improve.

Step by step you'll build up the skills to cross step on your longboard, high-line trim, and even noseride over the weekend.

All taught by our world class in-house instructors.

HIGHLIGHTS

4 In-water surf sessions.
4 In depth theory breakdown sessions.
3 Video analysis sessions.
Weekend video footage to take home with you.
*Equipment included (only at certain locations).

SKILL LEVEL

This course is for level 2 surfers.

You are a level 2 surfer if:

You're consistently standing up in the whitewater.
Attempting to catch green unbroken waves on small days.
You're able to catch whitewater waves unassisted.

COURSE

The level 2 longboard curriculum has been designed for beginner/intermediate longboarders that want to learn the hyper specific techniques unique to the sport.

We skip the absolute basics you'd expect in complete beginner course (we cover that in the level 1 course), and go straight into the good stuff teaching you the specific skillsets that make longboarding so unique.

Over the weekend you'll learn all the vital skills and techniques to:

High-line trim along a green wave.
Pop up the right way for longboarding - steep waves, and weak.
Cross step forward and backward.
Adjust your balance point to learn how to noseride.
Nose up bottom turn, unique to longboarding.

And much more.

With each step building on the last, by the end of the weekend you'll have all the skills you need to take your longboarding to the next level, owning your spot anywhere, at any lineup in the world.

Rebecca Coldicutt

Hands down the best weekend surfing I've had ever. Loz and Rowan are incredibly talented coaches, and their combo of land and water based instruction saw me progress more in two days than I have in years. I really can't recommend them highly enough.

Just completed a Longboarding course with House of Surf over the weekend and it honestly exceeded all my expectations. Rowan and Roz spent both days with us teaching us in great detail all the foundations of longboarding. With their care, great balance of theory and practice in the water, and their catered adjustments and advice, we all made very visible progress within just 48 hours. I would recommend their services for anyone with different skill levels and goals for surfing. I can't wait to be back in Tauranga to visit again.

I can highly recommend the 2 day longboard boost course through House of Surf!!
I had the b set weekend and even got my cross stepping down - wtf?! Rowan nd Loz (hope I’m spelling correctly) are incredible instructors and run courses in Auckland and the Mt. Your surfing will absolutely improve and you’ll also meet a bunch of amazing people.

Had a beautiful weekend away in the Mount with the House of Surf on the longboarder foundations course.
I’ve done 2 of their weekend boost courses now and they’re jam packed full of info dedicated to getting more women in the water… well worth a get away to the mount if you want to up-skill… Couldn’t recommend these legends more.
