Surfing classes

For adults and kids.

 

Building a personal connection is key to learning how to surf. Therefore group classes are always limited to 3 students per instructor, one of the smallest ratios you’ll find anywhere. For even more focused attention, choose a private class. And if you’re ready to make real progress, you can opt for one of the surf packages. All classes last 1,5 hours and include a surfboard and wetsuit.
