What you'll experience

Arrival, high tide and first shore session.

Arrival at the campsite and reconnaissance of the pitch. In the afternoon, first theoretical class on the sand: posture, paddling technique, pop-up. Free dinner on the promenade. Early to bed tonight: there’s a session tomorrow.
Daily progression · 2 hours of class + free afternoon

Tomorrow from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM (or 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM depending on the tide), two hours of lessons in the water with the instructor. Each day you progress one step further: on day 2 you're already up on small waves, on day 3 you go further out, and on day 4 you start turning the board. Free afternoons for beach time, sleeping, eating in Somo or taking the boat to Santander.
Final session and certificate

Final session with optional recording and video feedback from the instructor. Camp diploma delivery (for records, not level validation). Group farewell. Departure by boat-bus or car.
