Thanks so much for the amazing surf lesson. Best instructor and safe protocols. - Mila
The best ever ... great waves, learned how to turtle roll, stood up quickly and balanced, and now I can turn on a wave. I understand about onshore and offshore winds and I had so much fun and felt safe . Thank you, Michelle - Alfie

The lesson includes the use of a quality wetsuit and surfboard. You’ll be collected from one of our city pick-up points and ride with us in our surf van to the beach with the best conditions on the day of your lesson. You’ll chat with your coach and fellow surfers in the van, listen to good music, and enjoy the scenery along the way. You’ll be allocated a good-quality wetsuit and surfboard and taken through the basics on the beach before you hit the waves. After the surf, you’ll have time to grab yourself a takeaway coffee or snack from one of the local beachfront cafes whilst the coach loads the van before returning back to the city. The whole experience from pick-up to drop-off is approx 3.5-4 hours.
If you enjoy your first lesson and want to upgrade to our flagship 4-lesson package, simply pay the price difference and we’ll count your first lesson as 1 of 4.
If you have previous surf experience and are wanting to brush up on your skills, please let us know upon booking so we can advise your coach and group you accordingly if possible.
Our headquarters are located in Camps Bay so we have easy access to both coastlines of the Peninsula. Your surf lesson will take place at the most suitable beach depending on the conditions on the day of your booking. We check the surf forecast on several reliable sources and combine this information with our local knowledge to decide where we will surf each day. We consider factors such as wind, tides, swell direction, and ocean temperatures before making our decision to ensure that you have the safest and most enjoyable experience.
Arrangements
Duration 2 hours
When Seven days a week (condition dependent) excluding 25th & 26th December and 1st January.
Where We will pick you up from one of our city pick-up points and take you to surf at Muizenberg OR Big Bay beach depending on the conditions forecast for the day of your booking. If your exact pick-up location is not on our list, please contact us so we can advise the closest pick-up point.
Weather We are dependent on wind, swell, and tides and consult reliable online forecasting sites before making our decision to operate. We typically DO NOT cancel because of rain. You're going to get wet anyway. Besides it's the most fun you can have outdoors in the rain!

Things to Bring Swimsuit/board shorts, towel, sunscreen (waterproof or zinc), warm sweater, bottle of water, and any emergency medication (epipen, inhaler, etc).

Notes
In order to ensure that our surf van with trailer has a safe pull-out area for pick-ups and that we get to the beach in the most time-efficient routing by avoiding city traffic, we have strategic pick-up points in the city area. If your exact pick-up location is not on our list of pick-up points, please choose the one closest to you or send us your location so we can advise where best to meet our surf van. Pick-up locations have been strategically selected to ensure you do not need to travel/walk far to meet us if you are staying centrally in the city/Atlantic seaboard area.
We use high-quality 4:3mm full-length wetsuits to keep you comfortable throughout the year in the Cape Town waters. We use beginner-specific soft boards for those who have never touched a surfboard or only surfed a handful of times. These boards are easy to catch waves with and make standing easier as they are stable. If you have a bit more surfing experience and want to use a regular epoxy/fiberglass board, please let us know at the time of booking.
The following is the pick-up schedule for our morning and afternoon lesson slots (please note the suburb where the closest pick-up location is to your lodging to determine your approximate pick-up time):
Camps Bay: 8:00-8:15 am OR 1:00-1:15 pm
City & Sea Point: 8:15-8:30 am OR 1:15-1:30 pm
Green Point: 8:30-8:45 am OR 1:30-1:45 pm

Observatory: 8:45-9:00 am OR 1:45-2:00 pm

2) a refund of 95% of the amount paid. A 5% fee is retained for all credit card/instant EFT payments to cover the costs of the transaction fees incurred to process this refund. The refund will be processed in the ZAR amount and therefore is subject to exchange rate fluctuations.
Stoked Surf shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, additional cost, accident, delay, irregularity, or illness (including COVID-19) that may be occasioned by any error or default, act or omission by the client in carrying out the arrangements of the booking, or otherwise in connection therewith.
