Some advices before you go ...
We would advice private lessons be of at least two hours duration. This will allow you to discover the area as well as benefit more

If you are an experienced boarder we will be able to take you off-piste during your lesson. We will also help you discover the undiscovered!
Instructors specializing in free-style boarding will be able to help you develop your technique.
We advice beginners to wear wrist protectors.
Make sure you know which way you ride the board. In general, a right footed boarder (left foot forward) is known as ‘a regular’ and
a left footed boarder (right foot forward) as ‘Goofy’.
