Course Details for private surfing lessons

How do private surfing lessons work?

Your instructor will help you to set and achieve your surfing goals, taking into consideration your surfing level, your level of fitness, your personal wishes and your priorities.

Your instructor will carry out a short assessment on the beach and in the water (if needed). It will help them to understand your individual needs so you can get the best from your private lesson.

If you have any videos or photos of your surfing, please bring them with you. These can help your instructor decide where to start, so you don´t waste your time doing stuff you already know.

Can I choose my instructor?
