Secret Sauce Surf School

Surf Lessons

In our surf lessons you will learn how to stand up on the board keeping your balance while riding the wave to the shore. We teach beginner lessons in waist deep white water, don’t worry, you don’t need to know how to swim, each student will always be accompanied by a certified instructor at all times during the lesson. The goal of the lesson is that you end up riding waves by yourself in a safe way, so that if in the future you would like to rent the board alone, you will already know how to handle it in the best possible safe way.

In our more advanced surf lessons we will take you to the line up and with the help of photo correction and videos we will take your surfing to the next level. Book with us and you won’t regret it.
