FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The surf lesson time is usually confirmed the afternoon before, depending on the tides, wind and ocean conditions. This allows us to always choose the best possible waves for the group.
Most of the time, surf sessions take place in the morning, when conditions are typically cleaner and more suitable for learning and progression.
For beginner and intermediate levels, we mainly use softboards for safety and stability, which help you learn with confidence in the water. If the instructor sees that you are ready and Atlantic Ocean conditions allow it, you may progress to a hardboard during your stay.
For advanced surfers, we recommend bringing your own board if possible. If not, we will help you choose a board that best matches your level, height and preferences.
If you’re having your first go at surfing or have had a lesson or two in the past, we will start from the basics.
The basics include introduction to the surf board, the surfing spot, a warm up, a dry session on the beach explaining the basics of the pop up and safety techniques, and then going to catch the first waves in our sub-tropical waters.
We are lucky to be located in the middle of the north shore, where we have access to the north, the east, and the west coasts of the islands within 15 minutes driving distance. All spots in these coasts work with different swell and wind directions. That’s why you will get to know the exact location for your next surf experience one day in advance. This also depends on your surfing level and experience.
Your instructor will pick you up from the retreat and take you to the surf spot with the best conditions for that day. Once at the beach, we start with a proper warm-up and a short theory explanation if needed. Then your surf coach will guide you through the session, giving personalized tips, corrections and support in the water. After the lesson, we gather for feedback and share how to improve your technique for the next session.
The full experience lasts around 3 to 3.5 hours (including driving time). At the end, you collect your board and equipment and return together with the group to the Retreat.
You definitely have a special connection with your own board, therefore if it’s convenient for you, we suggest that you bring your own board.
Yes, the surf board is included in the lesson for the duration of the surf class. We also provide you with the wet suit.
