What to expect

We usually meet up in the surf school at 9:30 in the morning (depending on the surfing conditions) and have our morning briefing, followed by different theory classes in the surf school class room. Our generic video class is an accumulation of over 10 years of experience in teaching how to surf. It is designed for day-one surfers and people that have surfed before alike. After learning the basic golden rules, you have the perfect knowledge to succeed in getting up on a surf board. A quick simulation class on the beach and you will be ready to hit the water with your instructor for the first practical session. After the first 50 minutes of surfing we will take a 20 min break to rest up and recharge your batteries before the second session of surfing. We finalize the day with a photo party in the surf school where we see the pictures of everyone in action. Those pictures will be available for you to download at no additional cost.
