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.

Programmes suitable for beginners:

* [Surf & Yoga Week at Xanadu Village](https://xanadusurf.com/all-year-round-surf-yoga-camp/)

* [Surf, Yoga & Wellness Retreat (Level 1-3) at Xanadu Retreat](https://xanadusurf.com/all-year-round-surf-yoga-wellness-retreat/)
