School Offers
Group lessons: Beginners and advanced
During our beginner classes you will learn the basics of surfing. You can book just a single lesson or packages with more lessons with a great discount. We created a perfect program, especially for beginners built on many years of teaching experience. The more hours you stay in the water, the more waves you will catch, this is a fact!
Advanced surfers will be analyzed individually by the instructor who will guide you to improve your performance. If you have not been in the water for some time it is alwas recommended to take a class again, not only to learn about the local conditions.
