First we would need to decide on the location. If the ocean is calm with off-shore or no wind then lessons can be done at the beach. If there is a breeze, then it is best to do at a protected location such as the intercostal waterway. We start off with a 15 minute conversation to go over equipment fundamentals, riding technique, and overall safety. Then you try it. We will be available for questions or troubleshooting. The lesson ends when the battery runs out which is about 80 minutes of continuous riding.
