At our surf lessons, you can be sure that you will have attention from a surf instructor, use high-quality equipment, stay safe, and learn a lot about surfing and how to surf.

Itinerary

During a 2.5-hour surf lesson, beginner surfers will learn the basic of surfing, including the proper technique of paddling, standing up, controlling the board, and riding waves. We will start with a short theory part to learn about the waves, safety rules, and equipment. Then we warm up and go to catch waves in the ocean. Our experienced instructors will be close by and provide individual feedback and support to help you to improve your skills. Intermediate surfers will improve their technique and increase their confidence in the water by learning about reading waves, positioning on the line-up, and sharpening the technique.
