If you can handle a take-off and manage to surf to the beach standing upright ahead of the white wash, you do not need to attend surf school and your best bet is our Level 1 where you’ll learn with lots of practice. Our surf coaches will help you and give you lots of tips so you can take your surfing to the next level.
Surf School level until Level 2 includes: Surfboard rental, lycra, towels, and drinking water. For the surf sessions you need to decide if you would like to add a board insurance in advance or directly at the camp.
