A small shadow grows longer across Sanur’s shallow sand as a child paddles out for the first time. The instructor—close, calm, and hands-on—talks through weight, timing and how the wave will push them forward. On this Level 1–2 course the lesson is built around confidence: standing safely, basic board control and catching mellow, learner-friendly waves.
