Surf holidays in English
Learn how to do a take-off on a surfboard with Atlantic Coast Surf School. Our surf instructors made a short video with some tips and surfing techniques to help you make the most of the waves when you come surf with us!

We prepared a video showing how to stand up on a surfboard with some step-by-step techniques. To understand and perform a good take-off on the board, you need to know the essential principles of surfing.

Principles for surfing:

  1. Look where you want to go!
  2. Posture
  3. Position

Steps for the take-off on the board:

  1. Push up (extend your arms)
  2. Position your back foot (foot close to the knee of the other leg)
  3. Place your front foot between your hands and assume the surfing stance
    And enjoy the waaaave!!

Of course, it looks easy here, but in the ocean it’s a bit more difficult and it’s normal to make some mistakes.

But we will correct you and give you constant feedback!

When you start surfing, this is very important so you don’t keep repeating the same mistakes and fall into frustration.

Stay tuned to our Blog and updates; soon we will have more videos and information to help you.

This is for you, so feel free to give us your feedback. Share your opinion or tell us what you would like to know or learn better.

Just like on the beach, we always aim to adapt to each person’s needs.

Our teachers explain everything on this video!
