Surfing is a fun sport.
Surfers are gifted people who get to enjoy this sport powered by nature.
It’s exciting to learn the dynamics and the rhythm of the ocean as well as enjoy this blissful workout and relax after you’re done.
Here at Southern Beach Surf House Surf School, (hereafter referred to as SSH) we will assist you in English, with what you have to learn and do to stand up on your board and enjoy the fun, using a 9foot or a 9’6”longboard called the Soft Malibu.
We will enlighten you to what you may and may not do for your and the others safety so that we can all have a good time at the beach.
Recently longboards have become a popular choice for beginners since the buoyancy and stability of a 280cm / 9ft+ board makes it easier to paddle out, stand up and ride your way in close to the shoreline.
If you’re contemplating on whether choosing a short, mid-length, or a long board as a starter, we suggest you start with a long board and work your way down to a shorter board, since a short board requires much stamina and technique.

After learning the basics and being able to catch waves on your own, you may choose to ride a shorter mid length 7’6” soft board called a Malibu Fun Board. These are a bit harder to ride compared to a long board since it has less stability and buoyancy however, once you get used to it, you’ll get to control and maneuver the board easier since they have less weight and volume.

Weather
Don’t worry. You will get wet in the water anyways, so Lessons will be held on rainy days as well. We will notify you if the weather persists.
Eat and Sleep Well the Night Before!
Surfing is a fun sport, but it is also a strenuous sport. Eat well and get enough sleep especially the night before your lesson.
Don’t party hard the night before.
Don’t skip breakfast on your lesson day. Such acts will jeopardize the safety of you and the others.
You may be asked to forfeit your lesson if we notice any of your inappropriate behavior and actions.

When?
Surf lessons are held every day during the summer season (June-August) except Wednesday and days that the weather and surf conditions persist.

What time?
Please be here at 9:30am. We will finish by 12:30pm so that you can enjoy your lunch at the restaurants nearby.
The actual lesson will start from (10:00am to 12:00pm)
We will notify you if there may be a slight change to the time we start due to the weather and shifting tide of that day.

Where?
Meet in front of SSH

Bring:
Your bath towel, beach sandals, shampoo, swim wear, clothing, sunscreen and drinking water.
(Have your swim wear on (especially for ladies) when you come over so that changing into the wetsuit would be easier and quicker. During the summer season, you can bring a T-shirt to wear over your swim wear for sunscreen instead of wearing a wetsuit.)

*Don’t forget to bring Gatorade or the like for hydration during the summer season! The sun is brutal, and you can easily get heatstroke! We will have a cooler box ready.
