Everything starts with the basics: In Surfing, nothing beats a good groundwork of fundamental skills, as this will make the learning process easier and a lot more fun. Moreover, getting those basics right during the early stages of learning will help improve your performance, giving you more confidence before actually riding a wave. Learning the basics in a Surf lesson is definitely to your advantage as it will make the learning process easier and much quicker. In this section, know the different skills you need to learn in Surfing:

  • Body & Board Positioning - Having the right position will improve board stability. This is also in preparation for the technique that every beginner wants to do - standing on a Surfboard.
  • Getting into the Water - After assuming the right position of your body on the board while on the beach, you can move on to the real playground. Learn how to get into the water with your board.
  • Paddling - Paddling the right way is one of the most important techniques to learn in Surfing. In this section, learn how to paddle and pick up some pointers on how to make paddling efficient.
  • Sitting on the Surfboard - Sitting on your Surfboard gives you a better view of the oncoming waves than when you are paddling out. Learn how to sit on your board in this section.
  • Catching a Wave - You obviously cannot surf without knowing how to catch a wave correctly. In this section, pick up some helpful tips on how to catch an unbroken wave.
  • Wipeout - In the Surfing world, Wipeout means falling off your Surfboard. This can lead to injuries, so it is important to be very cautious when wiping out.
  • Standing on the Surfboard (on the beach) - You have reached the final phase where you culminate everything you have learned. But before you try to stand up on your board out in the water, make sure to do this drill first.
  • Standing on the Surfboard (in the water) - Standing on the Surfboard as you ride the waves is an exhilarating experience. As a popular saying goes, 'only a surfer knows the feeling'. Learn how to do the pop-up in this section. Nobody says that learning to surf is a piece of cake, though it is our goal to teach you or your child how to stand on the surfboard and surf a wave.

The NSSIA Mission Statement 
The National Association of Surf Schools and Instructors (NSSIA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering surf etiquette, water safety, and quality instruction programs for surfers through professional instructor development, education, accreditation and research.
Association Principles
NSSIA has adopted the following principles to guide and govern activities of the association.
1. NSSIA recognizes the potential harm surfers can do to one another as well as to the local environment. The NSSIA will actively promote the incorporation of surfboard safety and water safety as a first step into surf school training programs.
2. NSSIA recognizes that being able to surf is not a reliable qualification for teaching others to surf. The NSSIA will actively promote a surf instructor certification program to qualify beginning and master level instructors that teach surfing.
3. NSSIA recognizes that surf schools and related businesses who offer surfing lessons provide a variety of learning approaches, some more appropriate than others. The NSSIA will actively promote a surf school accreditation program so those who seek lessons can identify those organizations offering consistently high quality services.
4. NSSIA recognizes that inexperienced surfers should not over impact more experienced surfers in the lineup. The NSSIA will promote learning activities that instill surf etiquette and low impact surfing in accredited instructional programs.
5. NSSIA promotes the right of low-impact, free and open access to the world's waves and beaches for all people. NSSIA will support SURFRIDER and similar organizations that act to preserve this right of access.
