A Beginner Surf Lesson
Our professional instructors will share their experience with all their knowledge and passion. You will be able to stand up on the board and riding the wave from the first lesson on – promised! But be aware: Surfing is like a drug, you might be addicted.
A Journey for Beginners
We leave around 9:30AM, in search of the best spot to surf. Every day, we will assess the place according the tide, wind, swell size and direction, the same way experienced surfers would do. The waves aren’t made by a machine, so they are not always perfect on the same beach, depending on the day. When we have assessed the right surf spot for that day, we will start with a short introduction and warm-up exercises. After 1,5 – 2 hours surfing in the water, you will be hungry, it’s time for lunch. Then, after this pause, we will start the second class of the day.
At the end of an entire day surfing, you will be tired, and your level of endorphins will be very high, so it will be time to go back from the beach and have a warm bath.
Our team often organizes night tours to typical restaurants, where everyone is welcome. After an excellent dinner, depending on your energy, it’s time to either go for a drink in the bars or go to have a rest and get fresh for the next day!

More Info
Safety and professionalism are the always present at Wavesensations. This is even more true when working with kids.
Beginner level - Kids Surf Lesson Policy
Safety and professionalism are the always present at Wavesensations. This is even more true when working with kids.
Under 8 — Minimum age for kids’ surf lessons is 8 years old.
From 8 to 12 — Lessons are available if you can demonstrate your child’s swimming ability. Please note however that we require one parent or tutor to be in the water supervising each child at all times, since our instructors will have other guests to attend to. Tutors must remain in the beach at all times during your child’s surf lesson. They cannot join the same lesson while they are supervising the child.
From 12 – 16 — Lessons are available with a parent or tutor supervising in the beach. The tutor(s) can join the same lesson if they wish.
Why should you get this?
Surfing has a very steep learning curve. Understanding the basic techniques from the start is key. Even if you have taken a few lessons here and there, you might have a lot more to learn at this level of coaching. The difference is that you will live a whole trip with the same surf guides that will get time to know how you surf and what you need to improve.
