Having a jet ski available to tow you back out into the peak zones will help you save valuable time, energy, and strength to catch more waves than you would be able to by just paddling. Clients will have the opportunity to be towed into the best waves so they can simply step off onto the board and focus on the ride! This type of lesson allows Ted to capture high quality, close up videos and photos that can be used for teaching aids and personal use. Having footage of your best wave is priceless!
