The Level 3 will give you the first contact with green unbroken waves. In order to benefit from Level 3 tips, you need to be comfortable paddling through the white water and being completely comfortable with the basic surf techniques approached in the previous levels. Depending on the conditions, the surf coach will be next to you in the water or filming you surfing from the beach.

In this level, you should be a completely independent surfer, able to surf both sandy and reef bottom breaks comfortably on your own, while the coach is filming. According to your skills, we will adjust the surf coaching training and in the end of the day we will analise the videos and give you tips on how to improve.
