Surf Lessons
Our private surf lessons in Muizenberg offer personalized coaching for all skill levels:
Choose from beginner, intermediate, and private group lessons. Learn at your own pace from a professional and competing surfer.
Single Beginner Lessons
This one is for you if:
- You never surfed before
- You had a handful of lessons here and there
- You stood up a few times already but still feel a bit shaky
- You can’t swim
We’re here for you to teach you the basics in this beginner surf lesson. We’ll go through ocean basics, safety, paddle theory and on-land-practice. There’s still going to be plenty of time in the water and the coach will be by your side at all times.
In case you can’t swim, we’ll stay in shallow water for safety.
This lesson is suitable for kids, adults and also older people. If you don’t have any severe injuries, everyone can join.
Group Beginner Lessons
This one is for you if you are a group of people that:
- has never surfed before
- has had a handful of lessons here and there
- has stood up a few times already but still feels a bit shaky
- can’t swim
We’re here for you to teach you the basics in this beginner surf lesson. We’ll go through ocean basics, safety, paddle theory and on-land-practice. There’s still going to be plenty of time in the water and the coach will be by your side at all times.
This lesson is suitable for kids, adults and also older people. If you don’t have any severe injuries, everyone can join.
Groups are always private, so you come with your own friends & family, we don’t offer public group lessons. We are able to accomodate different levels within one group, just let us know and we’ll adjust.
Groups are considered from 2 people (twin lesson) or up. We are also able to accomodate big groups like school classes or teams.
Advanced / intermediate lessons
This one is for you if:
- You know how to pop-up
- You are able to stand on a surfboard
- You want to improve your technique like paddling, pop-up, catching your own waves, turning or even more advanced like cross-stepping, hang 5s or hang 10s
If you’re not looking for basic knowledge like learning how to stand on a surfboard but are already stable on the board, this one is for you. In this lesson we’ll teach you to catch your own waves, turn, crossstep or just improve your current technique.
Lessons for people with anxiety / HSPs
This one is for you if:
- you are very scared of the waves / current / water
- you are a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
- you get overstimulated quickly
- still want to test if surfing could be for you
We got you ♥
We can tailor a lesson based on your specific needs to make it successful and worth your effort to overcome your fears. We’ll adjust the duration based on your preferences as well (for HSPs we recommend 45-60mins).
We will offer you a unique experience with an increased set of teaching skills in the water, 100% focus on you and mental support throughout.
Once you book this lesson, we will get in touch with you after you received the confirmation and discuss your lesson.
How to prepare before the surf lesson
- Please arrive 10mins before the lesson, so we can find a fitting wetsuit for you and get changed
- Please bring swim shorts / a bikini / a swimsuit to wear underneath the wetsuit
- Bring some water, a snack (I recommend a banana) and a towel (and whatever else you need)
- I also recommend using sunblock – if you apply it, leave out the forehead (or it’ll run into your eyes in the water)
- The lesson starts once we head to the beach
- You can leave all your valuables and clothes at the shop – it’s common and safe
What to expect in a beginner surf lesson
- We will meet at the shared location
- There you will receive your wetsuit and surfboard
- We then head to the beach to warm-up
- I’ll give you first instructions about safety, ocean knowledge and technique
- We then practice the pop-up
- After that the fun in the ocean starts
- I’ll give you clear instructions, we focus on the pop-up
- You don’t have to paddle in the first session (unless you want to), I will push you on the board
- I’ll make sure you feel safe and don’t get into dangerous situations with other surfers
- After we’re done, we’ll head back to the shop to change and get a warm shower
