Itinerary
Day 1 – The fundamentals – The whole day is spent looking at riding and identifying problems or areas that could be improved on in your personal riding. The idea is to raise your own awareness in your riding to be able to make it better. Also a stance analysis and equipment check to see if you’re getting the most out of your board.
Day 2 – The morning is again spent on personal riding with the added advantage of a video analysis session half way thro. In the afternoon we start to look at the Central Theme. This is the progression we teach to beginners to help them understand what’s needed to make their first turns. This is a big help to your own personal riding as it’s not as easy as it looks.
Day 3 – The morning is spent looking at how we handle people. An important area as boarding is a physical sport and being an instructor involves a lot of helping! In the afternoon you get your first chance to give a short 15-minute lesson to the rest of the group on an area in the Central theme. We also have a mid week group lunch in Nando’s who give us a great deal. Veggies are no problem either.
Day 4 – The morning is spent on personal riding and again we have a valuable video analysis session. By this time you are making you own comments on your performance as you have a better awareness of what you are doing on your board. The afternoon is the assessed lesson. Same format as the previous day you give a 15/20minute lesson to the rest of the group on an area from the central theme.
Day 5 – The morning is spent predominantly riding. We also have the chance to do extra lessons for those that need it. It’s a short day and we finish on the slope at 12 midday. We then have a course debrief followed by an individual debrief where the results are given. The afternoon is then free time. Your lift ticket is valid until 6pm so you can choose to ride or chill in the bar.
