Cape Town gives you mountains, wine farms, safaris… but nothing compares to the feeling of standing on a wave for the first time.
Surfing here isn’t just another activity—it’s an adventure that leaves you with a story you’ll be telling for years.
Picture this:
✨ Catching your first wave with Table Mountain in the distance
✨ Laughing with new friends in the water
✨ Walking back up the beach with salty hair and that “I did it!” grin
You don’t need experience. You just need the courage to say yes to trying. We’ll take care of the rest.
Surf lessons for beginners, beginner intermediate, intermediate and intermediate advanced are 90 minutes surf sessions where you will learn to surf for the first time or if you have some experience we'll help you progress in technique, catch more waves and walk away with a greater understanding about surfing.
During your first lesson you will be assessed on your surf technique and then given a roadmap on what your next steps are. If you are looking for a fun one-off experience then we also got you covered with the surf fundamentals to have the best time in the waves.
