Teacher's Pet Features
Paddle Position
The paddle position, oval in the centre of the deck, allows inexperienced riders to better position themselves correctly on the board with ease “sometimes referred to as the balance point” reducing the chances of being too far forward making the board nose dive or too far back making the board wheelie.
Hand Placement
The outside lines of the oval are also a great guide as to where your center finger of flat hands should be placed when under your chest (preventing riders from grabbing the rails). This helps in getting the rider into that pinpoint technique for the all important ‘pop up’ from the start.
Center Line
The center line running through the oval & from nose to tail acts as a guide to easily center your body from the left to right sides of the board. This creates confidence in the riders, knowing that each and every time they get on the board, they are in the perfect position. This also provides school instructors with an easy to use teaching tool.
Comfortable Handle
Learning to surf can be exhausting, so there is no need to push your students unnecessary. The Teacher’s Pet features a convenient handle on the bottom of the baord, just below the rail and over its center of gravity. Watch your students carry your boards to- and from the spot with ease, instead of dragging the boards behind them.
Straight A’s all round.
For other soft board options by NSP, the more recreational Sundowner is perfect for travellers or a spontaneous session, while the P2 Soft range offers wider boards, longboards and funboards for dedicated schools and surfcamps.
