This package includes 4 x 2-hour group surf lessons which can be taken over a period of a few days up to 6 weeks-whatever best suits your schedule. We cover everything from surf safety and ocean awareness, to paddling technique, how to stand up and surf the waves, turning and trimming green waves to wave selection and rules of the surf.
After four surf lessons you are guaranteed to be 'stoked' and ready to venture off into the appropriate 'beginner' surf on your own. We will advise what equipment is best for you and should you decide to purchase your own gear, we will even guide you to the stores with the best deals.
If you would prefer to 'try before you buy' we do offer the option to book for an 'Experience the Stoke' lesson and upgrade to the 'Uber-Stoked' package should you be 'stoked' after your first lesson. Simply pay the price difference and we will count your first lesson as 1 of 4. For online bookings, please let us know the day you'd like to do your first lesson and then email us the desired dates for lesson 2, 3 and 4.
Surf lessons are 2-hours long and include the use of:
• 4:3mm wetsuit
• suitable surfboard
• leash
• wax
• We use quality 4:3mm wetsuits to keep you warm throughout the year. Wetsuits are well maintained-washed and rinsed after each use. We use beginner specific softboards for those who have never touched a surfboard or only surfed a handful of times. These boards are easy to catch waves with and make standing easier as they are stable. If you have a bit more surfing experience and are wanting to use a regular epoxy/fibreglass board, kindly let us know at the time of booking.
• For the self-drive option, we will advise (via email or sms) the beach we will be operating the lesson on at least 24 hours in advance.
• For the transported option, we offer pick ups from locations in Cape Town city and surrounds (see pick up area list below). If you are located outside of the pick up area, we will ask you to meet us at a pre-arranged location in the city. If you are staying at a private residence/Airbnb etc, we will ask you to meet us at one of our regular pick up points closest to your accommodation. We will transport you to the beach in our comfortable van or our original surf school VW golf. Please note that whilst you will be assigned your private surf coach at the beach, you may share the transfer to the beach with other group lesson participants. If you are wanting a lesson outside our regular lesson time slots, we will try our best to accomodate your request if we are able to.

Two-hours of surf coaching at one of Cape Town's most suitable surfing beaches. These private surf lessons can be tailored for beginner surfers who prefer learning outside of a general group environment or intermediate surfers wanting to improve specific skills. This option ensures exclusivity for the individual or group with a coach especially assigned to cater for your individual needs. Transported or self-drive option available.
If you have previous surfing experience and wish to improve on your skills, kindly inform us at the time of booking so we can update your coach.
Extra participants will be charged at group lesson rates. For groups of 7 of more wanting exclusivity, regular group rates apply.
Our headquarters are located in Camps Bay so that we have easy accessibility to both coastlines of the Peninsula. Lessons take place at the most suitable beach depending on the conditions on the day of your booking. We check the forecast on several reliable sources and combine this information with our local knowledge to decide where we will coach each day. We consider factors such as wind, tides, swell direction and ocean temperatures before making our decision to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience.
