The Beginner's Challenge
Learning to surf without seeing what you're doing
Can't See Your Mistakes
You fall off and don't know why. Without seeing yourself, it's impossible to know what went wrong.
Building Bad Habits
Every repetition of wrong technique reinforces bad habits that become harder to fix later.
Slow Progress
Without targeted feedback, you practice randomly instead of focusing on what actually needs improvement.

Questions from Beginner Surfers
I'm a complete beginner. Is AI feedback too advanced for me?
Not at all! The AI adapts to your level. For beginners, it focuses on fundamentals like pop-up technique, stance, and wave catching - the building blocks that matter most.
Should I take lessons first or use AI coaching?
Ideally both! In-person lessons for your first few sessions are valuable for safety and basic instruction. Then use AI coaching to reinforce and build on what you learned.
How do I film myself as a beginner?
The easiest way is to ask someone on the beach to film with a smartphone. Film from the side angle if possible. Even if waves are small and you're in the whitewash, the footage is useful for analysis.
Can AI help me catch more waves?
Yes! Wave catching involves paddling technique, positioning, and timing. AI feedback helps identify what's preventing you from catching waves consistently.
I keep falling on my pop-up. Can AI help?
Absolutely. The pop-up is the most analyzed technique for beginners. AI will identify specific issues - hand placement, foot positioning, timing - and give you concrete fixes.
