THE GREEN ROOM AT LAHINCH
Surf shop run by surfers for surfers
STUART HAS OVER 25 YEARS SURFING EXPERIENCE AND WAS A FORMER MEMBER OF THE ENGLISH SURF TEAM IN THE 80’S, ALSO AS A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF CIRCLE ONE. HE HAS A VAST KNOWLEDGE OF WETSUITS, SURFBOARD DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
STUART AND HIS STAFF PRIDE THEMSELVES ON GOOD TUITION TO ALL LEVELS. THE MAIN FACTOR OF HIS CLASSES IS THAT OF KEEPING THE CLASSES SMALL IN NUMBERS, SO THAT EACH STUDENT GETS THE MAXIMUM INSTRUCTION AND CAN BE TREATED AS AN INDIVIDUAL. AS MANY WILL REALISE EVERY LEARNER WILL HAVE INDIVIDUAL LEARNING NEEDS AND BY KEEPING CLASSES SMALL ATTENTION TO THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED. THIS OUTLOOK IS NOT ADOPTED BY MANY SURF SCHOOLS WHERE NUMBERS SEEM TO BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE.
HOW MANY LESSONS WOULD AN AVERAGE PERSON NEED BEFORE THEY CAN GO SOLO?
THIS QUESTION IS ASKED MANY TIMES BY
PEOPLE WISHING TO LEARN TO SURF. AT THE GREEN ROOM SURF SCHOOL WE TELL
PEOPLE IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL,
BUT
WE WILL ONLY LET YOU DO AS MANY LESSONS UNTIL WE FEEL IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO
SOLO. AFTER THIS OUR ADVICE IS FOR YOU TO TAKE YOUR NEWLY ACQUIRED SKILLS
AND THEN COME BACK TO US IN 6 MONTHS/12 MONTHS TIME TO GET FOLLOW UP TUITION ON
MORE ADVANCED TECHNIQUES, THE GREEN ROOM BELIEVES THAT PART OF THE LEARNING
PROCESS SHOULD BE DONE SOLO, LESSONS ARE A GREAT SAFE WAY TO GET STARTED AND
THEN AS A FOLLOW UP TO IMPROVE TECHNIQUES ON TURNING, TRICKS ETC.
FOR MANY THE THRILL OF CATCHING AN UNBROKEN WAVE IS THE MAIN GOAL, OR FOR OTHERS LEARNING HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF EACH WAVE USING TECHNIQUES. IT IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH PERSON, WHAT WE CAN GUARANTEE IS THAT YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO DO ONE OF THE MOST FUN AND FULFILLING SPORTS EVER. IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU VIEW LIFE.
