During this week of surfing, you'll receive coaching for 5 days, across 10 two-hour surf sessions, scheduled according to the best surfing conditions of the day. Your progress, depending on your level, will take you to the reforming zone or the area with smooth waves. You'll refine your paddling technique, your positioning, and your wave selection.
During the week, your free day will be the perfect opportunity to relax by the villa's pool or explore the region at your own pace. For example, you could take advantage of the time to admire the view from Table Mountain or, for a different perspective, take to the skies to admire the Cape Town region from the air with a tandem paragliding flight (a flight with a certified instructor). You'll enjoy a 10-15 minute flight, depending on the wind conditions, and fly over Cape Town, the iconic sports stadium, and the various neighborhoods of the region.
The program is given as a guide and may be subject to changes depending on weather conditions.
