You meet the coach on a wide, wind-scoured beach as the Atlantic breathes across the sand. Waves line up like a moving wall, some kind and rideable, others testing and fast; the coach points to a set and the ocean seems to dare you to read it. A 20-minute beach briefing sharpens posture, paddling rhythm and wave selection, then you’re waist-deep, shoulder-deep, and into guided catches—the coach close enough to push your board or cue a foot position.
