Intro to Ocean paddling – Wave Timing (lesson 3)

Wave Lesson - Beach launching, wave timing, and ocean intro
The Santa Monica Bay is our playground and the best way to experience it is on your SUP! For those who seek fun, sun, adventure, and serenity the ocean is the place to be. There are many places to go and explore on a paddleboard in Santa Monica Bay and around the world. We will start with our little corner of it where conditions allow for all levels to experience the ocean and advance their skills.
Here you will take the control skills and speed techniques you learned during the Marina and Wind lessons (1 and 2) and start timing your stroke with the Ocean waves.
You will learn:
Launch location selection
Conditions reporting
Wave timing
Wave catching
Self-rescue
