The expert's opinion
Beginners and those with some experience always take classes together. Whether it's your very first time or not, our experienced team will balance the session so that everyone can progress and encourage each other :)
Intermediate surfers should be independent in the water and able to control their board in different situations. All intermediate surfers can try surfing with soft tops or hardboards if conditions and their skill level allow.
Beginners and intermediate surfers can participate in the same lessons whenever conditions permit. If necessary, we separate the groups by level and can give simultaneous lessons: beginners then stay inside (closer to the edge) and intermediate surfers can go out to sea (where the waves start to break, at the line-up ).
We always look for the best conditions of the day to surf at the ideal tide. Therefore, we always go to the beach together, even if we split into groups.
A sense of community is very important to us :D
