The expert's opinion
3 levels of surf lessons
To ensure surfing sessions are perfectly suited to each individual's level, we offer three levels of instruction . Depending on your experience, you will be placed in the beginner , intermediate , or advanced intermediate group.
Surf lessons – Beginner
Perfect for those who have never surfed or who only took a few surf lessons some time ago and want to review the basics. You will learn the essential techniques: paddling , standing up on the board in the whitewater , and finding the right timing to catch a wave .
Surf lessons – Intermediate
Ideal for those who have already taken several surf lessons or courses and are comfortable in the whitewater , with a good grasp of the basics: paddling, standing up on the board, and catching a wave. The goal of this level is to learn to steer your board with the correct technique in both directions and to generate speed on the wave .
Surf lessons – Advanced intermediate
Perfect for those who are comfortable in the water , have already surfed offshore on green waves , and know how to perform certain maneuvers , such as the bottom turn and top turn . You are in good physical condition and have a good understanding of currents . The lessons focus on more advanced surfing techniques , with guidance from our most experienced instructors and the use of our premium range of surfboards .
