Absolutely. You don’t need any previous surfing experience to join our beginner program.

Our coaches will introduce you to surfing step by step, starting with ocean safety, board handling, paddling, pop-up technique and catching your first waves.

We split our guests into smaller groups based on their level so beginners will start from scratch on a beach break in white water.

You do, however, need to be comfortable swimming in the open ocean. For safety reasons, our surf programs are not suitable for non-swimmers.
