Heres how you qualify: Head over to the shop (1985 NE 2nd St., Deerfield Beach) at 7 a.m. on Saturday and bring your own shorts, sun block, and a towel. Youll grab a long board and walk to the Deerfield Beach Pier alongside the instructors IWS staffers like 20-year vet Kali Da Big Kahuna Montero and surfboard shaper Mike Pechonis wholl then run down the basics like safety, paddling, and that vicious pop-up. After that, the instructors break it down based on whos around; and since all levels of surfers show up from week-to-week, that could mean more useful tips for getting started or even some trade secrets spoken only in whispers. The lessons last two-hours, but Montero is available for private gigs as well. Call 954-427-4929, or visit www.islandwatersports.com.
