Learn to surf with confidence!
Whether you’re a first-time surfer or getting back into the water, this program gives you the skills and confidence to master white water waves and take the first steps toward catching green waves in intermediate lessons.
Surf sessions are just the beginning. Our surf theory classes cover ocean safety, wave reading, surf etiquette, and forecasting, helping you understand the waves before you ride them. A surf-specific training session sharpens your pop-up, stance, and balance, while video analysis and yoga for surfers enhance technique, flexibility, and body awareness—key to progressing faster.
For those in the 7-night program, a breath-hold workshop boosts confidence and breath control, helping you feel more at ease in the water and ready for bigger challenges.
P.S. During your stay, you have the opportunity to advance to higher levels as long as the instructor deems you ready and conditions allow. For example, if a guest excels after the third beginner lesson, the instructor may recommend transitioning to intermediate lessons, depending on both progress and ocean conditions.

This workshop is designed for surfers of all levels, aiming to enhance your physical and mental skills for tackling tough conditions in the water. Our goal is to help you build confidence, self-awareness, and self-control, so you can remain calm and composed when things don’t go as planned.
A common challenge surfers face in tricky situations is resisting the water. In this workshop, you’ll learn to relax and work with the water instead. You’ll discover simple techniques for calming your body and mind, along with insights into freediving, breath control, and relaxation strategies.
The session includes practical breathing exercises and apnea training, guided by your instructor in both a classroom setting and a pool environment. By the end, you’ll not only understand how to apply these techniques while surfing but also in everyday life or any physical activity. Breath training can significantly enhance both your mental resilience and physical performance.
P.S. For the Beginner/Intermediate programs, this workshop is included exclusively in the 7-night programs. For the Advanced Guiding program, the workshop is included in both the 4-night and 7-night programs.
