Surfing is more than a sport – it’s the feeling of standing on water, the rush of catching a wave, and the simple joy of being in the Atlantic. Whether it’s your first lesson or you’re ready to sharpen your skills, our ISA-qualified instructors keep things safe, fun, and personal.
All equipment is provided, including board, wetsuit, and booties if needed. Just bring your swimwear and a towel.
A Simple, Fun Path to Your First Wave
Each session lasts about two hours, with roughly 30 minutes spent on land getting set up and learning the basics before heading to the water.
Lessons take place in waist-to-hip depth water, perfect for beginners and younger surfers. The focus is always on enjoyment – falling in is part of the fun!
What You’ll Learn
- Safety and sea awareness: staying safe in the surf
- Getting to know your board: paddling, popping up, and balance
- Wave catching: timing, positioning, and riding
- Confidence building: practice, support, and feedback throughout
