Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the surf lessons.

Do you need to bring your own wetsuit and surfboard?

No, all materials are included in the lesson. We have wetsuits in all sizes. The surfboards have a soft top and soft fins, especially for beginners. In the early and late season we have shoes, gloves and a cap (a kind of surfing hat).

What should I take with me?

Only a towel and swimwear. Tight swimwear is the most useful, because you can wear a wetsuit over it. If you use medication for anything (such as exercise-induced asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, etc.) and normally use it during exercise, you should also take it with you. Please give this to the instructor at the start.

How long in advance do i need to be present?

Our lessons start with a bit of theory, so it is not necessary to change clothes before the lesson starts. If you are there 5 minutes in advance, that is fine. For the surf kidz / Action Academy it is nice if you are there be a little earlier, because they immediately put on wetsuits.

Are there showers and changing rooms at the surf school?

There are warm outdoor showers (heated by solar boilers, so completely eco). We have spacious changing rooms with compartments for your belongings. We are happy to personally guard your valuables during your surfing lesson.

Do the lessons continue if there are no waves?

If there are no waves, we will cancel at the latest the morning before the lesson, but usually the day before. We will then move the lesson to another date in consultation. For company outings and children's parties, we can offer an alternative if desired, which is experienced as just as much fun as the surfing lesson. School lessons for education always take place, unless the teacher indicates in advance that he or she wants to move up if there are no waves.
