The surf hisses and then stands up beneath you: a glassy green wall pushed by the South Atlantic and the warm trade winds that sweep the beaches of Itacaré. On a private 90-minute lesson the ocean is selective—waves choose the learner as much as the learner chooses them—while an instructor paddles close, coaching timing, stance, and safety.
