Over or Through – June 18, 2024

  • Peniche – Baleal Surf Camp Day #2
  • Weather: 60-70°/ blue skies with white clouds

2:00pm class: When a massive wave comes, you either go over or through it. To go through the wave, hold onto the surf board rail. Extend arms straight with body in plank position. Shift your body off the board over water. Drop into the water rolling onto your back while pulling the board up and over you. (Like a turtle lying on his shell.). Push the tail of the board up with feet while pulling the nose down with hands. You’ve now created the perfect wedge to go through the water.

Classes are staggered based on the wave conditions for the group. There is always someone greeting you Baleal Surf Camp.

Zinc oxide type of waterproof sunscreen comes in a riot of fun colors. Now getting it off if a challenge I have not mastered.
