For Begginers

Our surf lessons are 75 minutes long.
Approximately 15 – 20 minutes is spent on the beach covering safety and the basics. The remaining time is spent in the water, using a soft board we will help you to catch your first waves standing up like a pro, by always giving you feedback on your position and If you can’t get enough and you want to practice by yourself after the lesson, you can rent a surfboard and to keep working on it.
We have one instructor for a maximum of three students to ensure a better progression.

For intermediate surfers / lineup lessons

For people who can already catch green waves and looking to improve their skills and techniques.
The lessons are about 75 minutes long, you will catch green waves on a hardboard and work on different aspects of your technique.
Your instructor will give you detailed feedback and pointers to increase your skill set.

-What our clients say about us-

“Best school to learn Surfing. I truly recommend this surf school! I took an 8-lesson surf camp from there and I could really see the results of having basically no experience to catching waves by myself on hardboard and actually understanding what I'm doing!”

-Elis L
