    What To Expect

    This level is directed for people who never surfed before or who are not able to stand up (take off) on a surfboard on most attempts. Beginners, we teach introduction to the equipment, safety rules, how the waves develop in the ocean, and the geography of the surrounding area, the elementary topics of Surfing (Theory and practice).

    Safety rules
    Surfboard composition
    How to safely handle the board in white waters
    How to place your body, lie and sit on the surfboard
    How to paddle in order to catch your waves
    The position on the line-up
    How to properly take-off (stand up) on the board
    Timing to take-off

    We will also teach you techniques to reach the point break with ease; This is the most important part of the learning process, as you will have to merge these first steps and develop your surfing skills in order to grow in this sport;

    The most relevant point is reading the ocean and respecting it; it’s the only way you can safely enjoy and, as they say, “ride the wave and fly on the champagne”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (7)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Surf Lesson 2H?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

    Activity name

    Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
