How far will I get with a week surf course?

If you never surfed before, you will be about able to paddle for middle size mellow waves, stand up in the right moment, in safety and finish the wave with the feet in the right position still on the top of the board (Longboard or Malibu). Afterwards, and depending on your progression, you will be able to surf down the wave learn a lot about safety rules, wind, waves, tides, priority rules, etiquette, surf gear, etc.
