FAQ

Am I too old to learn to surf?

We have taught all ages from 5 to 63. If you’re in this range, you’re definitely not too old to learn to surf.

Do I have to be sporty?

You should be able to swim for 15 minutes in open water and have a bit of strength and stamina. Being athletic will definitely give you an advantage.

What is it like in poor conditions?

If the conditions are too bad, we will either offer an alternative program or the course will take place on another day.

How big are the groups?

The group size is between 2 and a maximum of 6 people. Unless you book private surf coaching, in which case you will have the surf instructor to yourself.

Is the material included?

All equipment, i.e. wetsuit, surfboard, leash, wax, lycra, etc. is included during the surf course.

What should I bring with me?

In addition to lots of good humor, please bring a towel, dry clothes to change into, a bikini/swimsuit or swimming trunks, something to drink and eat, and sunscreen.
