Our headquarters are located in Camps Bay so we have easy accessibility to both coastlines of the Peninsula. Lessons take place at the most suitable beach depending on the conditions on the day of your booking. We check the forecast from several reliable sources and combine this information with our local knowledge to decide where we will coach each day. We consider factors such as wind, tides, swell direction, and ocean temperatures before making our decision to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience.

Inclusions and Exclusions
Inclusions
Surf lessons are 1.5-hours long and include the use of:
*4:3 mm wetsuit, suitable surfboard, leash, wax
*Transport from one of our city pick up points
Exclusions Please note we only collect at select pick up points for logistical reasons. If your exact pick up location is not on our list of pre-determined pick up points, please choose the one closest to you or email us your location so we can advise where best to meet our vehicle. 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.
Notes
We use high-quality 4:3mm wetsuits to keep you warm throughout the year in the Cape Town waters. Wetsuits are well maintained-washed and rinsed after each use. 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, kindly let us know at the time of booking.
For the transported option, we offer pick ups from locations in Cape Town city and surrounds (see pick up area list below). If you are located outside of the pick up area, we will ask you to meet us at a pre-arranged location in the city. If you are staying at a private residence/Airbnb etc, we will ask you to meet us at one of our regular pick up points closest to your accommodation. We will transport you to the beach in our comfortable van or our original surf school VW golf. Please note that you may share the transport to the beach with group lesson clients, however, you will be assigned a private instructor at the beach for your lesson.
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: 8:00-8:15am OR 1:00-1:15pm
