There is fresh, new life in the Indian Ocean this morning! Our beginner surfers enjoyed beautiful surf conditions- clear, warm water and perfect beginner-friendly waves. The waves were in the head-high range, the wave faces were particularly clean, and the wind was very light offshore for the duration of the session. The bump in wave size allowed the waves to run along the reef for longer, making for some exceptionally long rides. What a session everyone had!

The surfers worked on controlling the extra speed derived from the bigger and cleaner wave faces. To control this speed, a surfer must learn to keep their weight centred over the centre line of the surfboard, and their centre of gravity low- all of which are elements of the functional stance.
