School-based intervention
SURF activity
Definition of surfing: moving upright on a board that slides on the water using a wave as a means of propulsion.
Learning scope:
Adapt your movements to varied environments
End of cycle expectations:
– Carry out a journey in an unusual natural environment.
– Know and respect the safety rules of the activity (Wind, tides, etc.)
– Manage your effort to be able to return to the starting point.
– Help others.
Skills worked in the cycle:
– Drive a trip while managing your apprehensions and in safety
– Adapt your movements to the environments
– Take the environment and its developments into account
1° TECHNICAL ACQUISITIONS and MOTOR SKILLS
TO REALIZE :
• Anticipate, act and react quickly with appropriate actions in a natural, unusual and variable environment.
• Use specific equipment.
TO APPRECIATE AND IDENTIFY:
• Find a balance between environmental and personal strengths (waves, bodies and boards).
• Manage the energy necessary for action to be effective.
• Know how to choose the action adapted to the situation (taking a wave, position on the board, managing balance, taking direction).
• Act safely for yourself and others.
STAKEHOLDERS :
• Club sports educators (BEES SURF, BPJEPS SURF).
• Trainees undergoing training (provide the training certificate and have it endorsed by the departmental inspector for approval).
THE PUBLIC:
• From CE2 (minimum age 6 years).
THE OBJECTIVES AND CAPACITIES ARE OBSERVABLE ACCORDING TO 3 LEVELS:
FIRST FOAM (Level 1)
Objective :
• Equip yourself and know your equipment.
• Enter the water safely.
• Take a foam wave.
• Get up on the board.
• Maintain your balance while standing.
Abilities:
• Get dressed and hang your leash.
• Spread a foam in a place where you can walk in complete safety.
• Row in a lying position, take a foam while rowing.
• Be supported by a foam and stand up on the board
BRONZE WAVE (Level 2)
Objective :
• Autonomy in waves.
• Ensure take off (start-up).
• Maintain your balance while standing while ensuring the correct position.
Abilities:
• Go around the surf zone to go to the peak.
• Get up if possible in one step on a wave that has not yet broken.
• Maintain your standing balance until the end of the wave.
SILVER WAVE (Level 3)
Goals :
• Autonomy in the ocean
• Respect the rules of conviviality
• Ensure your own safety and provide assistance to people in difficulty
• Follow the wave using wave trajectories
Abilities:
• Position yourself in the right place to be able to choose the waves that open
• Take the right waves and in the right direction
2° ORGANIZATION OF THE CYCLE
From 6 to 10 sessions of 1h30 during the period: May and June/September and October.
The sessions take place during school time.
3° ORGANIZATION OF SESSIONS
The educators present the theme of the session to their groups and give all the safety instructions to apply depending on the sea conditions.
The class will be divided into groups of 8 students:
Depending on the number of educators and the number of children per class, it will be possible to organize a workshop on the beach under the responsibility of the teacher. In the event of bad weather not allowing surfing, a bodysurfing course can be set up, or a theoretical course (weather, wave formation, surfing history).
4° DIVISION OF THE SESSIONS:
The environment in which we operate is changing and therefore requires specific adaptation to each session. Furthermore, aquatic comfort is different for everyone. Expectations will therefore be individual and based on both the student's technical skills and the weather conditions.
This can therefore vary from: “being comfortable in the ocean with your equipment” to “adapting your trajectories according to the wave”.
The first sessions refer to the federal levels (First foam, etc.) which are used to discover the material in the environment, the equipment, etc. This division of sessions is, as far as possible, modeled on the educational progression implemented set up by the French Surfing Federation.
Evaluations and expectations will be individualized and will be carried out over all sessions (continuous monitoring).
TEACHING MATERIAL
Suits adapted to the season and colored lycras.
Foam surfboards with soft fins.
