Before taking students into the sea, I like to spend time on theory and a proper warm-up. I assess the sea conditions carefully and match the groups to the waves and currents. Before we get in, I explain the situation we are about to face, put everyone at ease and pass on the passion that drives my life.<\/p><p>Every lesson starts with a detailed explanation of the equipment and a careful assessment of the sea conditions. My goal is to create an environment where everyone, from the youngest to adults, can learn safely and have fun.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"wr-sec wr-gal\"><div class=\"wr-wrap\"><div class=\"wr-head\"><span class=\"wr-eyebrow\">In the water<\/span><h2>My waves<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"wr-grid\"><figure class=\"big\"><img src=\"https:\/\/weridesurfschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/giorgio-surf-03.jpg\" alt=\"Giorgio Bascialla in una manovra sulla cresta dell\u2019onda\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/weridesurfschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/giorgio-surf-01.jpg\" alt=\"Giorgio Bascialla in surf su un\u2019onda verde\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/weridesurfschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/giorgio-surf-07.jpg\" alt=\"Giorgio Bascialla in una manovra sulla schiuma\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wide\"><img src=\"https:\/\/weridesurfschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/giorgio-surf-04.jpg\" alt=\"Giorgio Bascialla in surf controluce davanti al pontile\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure><figure class=\"big\"><img src=\"https:\/\/weridesurfschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/giorgio-surf-02.jpg\" alt=\"Giorgio Bascialla dentro il tubo di un\u2019onda vicino al molo\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wide\"><img src=\"https:\/\/weridesurfschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/giorgio-surf-05.jpg\" alt=\"Giorgio Bascialla in una curva controluce davanti al pontile\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wide\"><img src=\"https:\/\/weridesurfschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/giorgio-surf-06.jpg\" alt=\"Giorgio Bascialla in una manovra in cima all\u2019onda\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure><\/div><p class=\"wr-credit\"><small>Some photos: Fabio Palmerini Photography.<\/small><\/p><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"wr-sec wr-cta\"><div class=\"wr-wrap\"><h2>See you in the water?<\/h2><p>Choose an open session or message me to find out which lesson is right for you.<\/p><div class=\"wr-actions\"><a class=\"wr-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/weridesurfschool.com\/en\/prenota-la-tua-lezione\/#prenotazioni\">Book a lesson<\/a><a class=\"wr-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/393395248200?text=Ciao%20Giorgio%2C%20vorrei%20informazioni%20sulle%20lezioni%20WE%20RIDE.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Write to Giorgio<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Istruttore \u00b7 Co-Founder WE RIDE Giorgio Bascialla In acqua da quando avevo 10 anni.
