*
Beginner - level 1. Never surfed before - but really keen to learn and give it a go!
Beginner - level 2. Have had some form of surf experience, comfortable in the ocean with small waves (waist to shoulder high). You know the basics of surfing and reading the waves. Able to stand on broken waves and paddling your board on your own steam. The stoke is real - you’re high fiving your friends for every wave you and they catch!
Beginner - level 3. Refining your paddling technique and wave judgment, able to catch most waves you paddle for. Looking to catch unbroken waves, stand up and trim along the unbroken face of the wave. You may not be aware of it yet, but you’re addicted to surfing for the rest of your life. All future weekends and spare time will be spent checking surf conditions and where to surf next.
Intermediate - level 1. A competent paddler in most conditions. Able to read the surf and ocean pretty well to match your ability to the conditions. Your trimming and starting to do turns on small to medium size waves. You’re starting to look at some better wave locations to surf and learning a new language - words like “bottom turn, cutback and stoked” have entered your vocabulary.
Intermediate - level 2. Congratulations - You’ve got your first “proper” barrel and you are able to consistently do turns and cutbacks “mostly” matching the right part of the wave. You’re a strong padder and pretty confident in your ability in most conditions - able to adapt your surfing when surf conditions change.
Advanced level. Very strong paddler in the gnarliest conditions. Your able to find a barrel even when its onshore, choosing the right manoeuvre for anything the wave throws at you.
