Full description

This learn-to-surf program is an all-inclusive lesson plan for beginner surfers. Follow a five-step program, with the ultimate goal of the lesson being to paddle, catch the wave, stand up and finally ride the wave toward the beach.


For these lessons to be successful, groups are kept small so that each individual learner gets the necessary attention they require. Steps one to three are first explained and demonstrated on the beach, following this, they are put to practice in the ocean (in waist-deep water).


Once steps one to three have been practiced successfully, you'll once again return to the beach with your instructor and go through the final two steps. Return to the ocean and practice these steps in order to achieve the ultimate goal of the surf lesson; standing up and riding a wave.


At the end of the lesson, you'll be equipped with the necessary skills to practice basic surfing on your own.

Nice surfing class! My reservation didn't come through properly but the people at the surfing school were very chill about it and just arranged that I could surf anyway. Very chill and nice people and after two lessons I managed to stand on the board!
