Surf Lessons – The Basics

Do I need experience to take a surf lesson?

Surf lessons last around 2 hours. This includes preparation, a briefing on the beach and time in the water.

All lessons include surfboard, wetsuit, certified instructor, insurance and all the guidance you need to enjoy the experience.

We keep small groups with a maximum of 4/5 students per instructor (or 3 for children under 10), ensuring safety, attention and faster progression.

Before Lessons

Before going into the ocean, we help you get equipped, explain the safety rules, do a short warm-up and go through the basics on the sand.
