Plenty of practice, complemented by all the theory and safety tips you need to become a responsible and competent surfer. The best board for you to use will be determined by the instructor.

Lesson format: Not as strict as the beginner level. We’ll try to get you in the water when it’s good and do the theory before, after or in between the surf sessions. Board, wetsuit and sports insurance included during the lesson.

One of the best surf camps I’ve visited! Great accommodation, nicely located and easy to find. The staff is very friendly, welcoming and always there to help you out. What an amazing surfing experience also! Pete is a great instructor who’s able to explain things clearly to get up standing on the board as soon as possible. Also, the surf school is based on a stunning sandy beach with some beautiful views and of course fantastic waves 🙂 Highly, highly recommend!
