Your family surf session begins near My Khe Beach, where the instructor welcomes the group, prepares the surf equipment, and helps everyone get ready for the lesson. Rash vests or wetsuits are provided depending on the conditions before heading down to the beach for a short warm-up and introduction to the basics of surfing.
The beach section covers the key foundations needed before entering the water, including how to carry the surfboard safely, position correctly on the board, paddle efficiently, and perform the pop-up technique used to stand while riding a wave.
