BEGINNER

Discover with us the magic of surfing

“Learn to surf”! You have been dreaming of riding waves for a long time? Today is the day: Welcome to our Beginner Course! We will introduce you step by step to the basic skill set of surfing. Starting the course with theoretical knowledge and a comprehensive introduction on the beach, we are going to practice with you in the white water near the shore. Here you can learn the first steps with your board and practice the new technique in a totally save environment.

INTERMEDIATE

You are hooked and looking for more

You have already taken surf lessons, gained experience with a surfboard and your take-off in small waves works well? Now you want to take it to the next level? In this case our Intermediate Course is what you are looking for! Here you will deepen your basics, prepare yourself to surf unbroken waves and practice your first maneuvers. Your intermediate surf skills allow you to use hard boards during the entire course, which we will provide in the size and shape according to your level. 

ADVANCED

You know how to surf and want to improve

You belong to the advanced surfers if the take-off is no longer a difficulty for you and you know how to ride an unbroken wave safely down its wall. From this point on, we will make you familiar with the subtleties of surfing: Your instructor will optimize your skills analyzing your individual technique, working on your weaknesses and fine-tuning your strengths. The focus will be particularly on duck diving, generating speed, bottom and top turns as well as performing cutbacks.
