Beginner Course

Target group: no experience at all to three-day course experience

This course is designed to introduce you step by step to the theoretical and practical basics of surfing. Basic practical goals of this course are learning how to take off in white water, getting to know diving techniques, and finally taking off in unbroken waves.

Besides that you will learn about the development of waves and currents and how to handle them correctly. In the beginner course we also focus on increased supervision in the water for your safety. A personal analysis via video is also part of this course.

In our surfer van we are able to reach the most suitable spot for the day, quickly. The course starts on Monday and finishes on Friday and includes 5 hours / day (there are no courses on the weekends). In the beginner course soft boards are used to guarantee a safe start. The equipment is available during class and on the weekends.
