Question 1

Do I need to have surf experience to join?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! This trip is especially welcoming of complete beginners. The surf lessons are provided within small groups allowing each student to receive personalised feedback based on your skill level and goals.

You’ll progress safely and confidently, no matter where you’re starting from.

And you know what's the best part? Not only will you be developing your skills progressively, but you'll also be having so much fun in the mean time as well! What can be more fun than being in a supportive all-girls environment, cheering each other on?

Question 2

Where are most of the girls in the group from?

Accepted Answer

We’re a mix! Mostly girls from Europe. 
While we may have different backgrounds, we're all looking to connect, surf and feel alive!

Question 3

What’s the age range of the group?

Accepted Answer

Most of our girls are in their early 20's to early 30's! Honestly, it’s more about energy than age. If you are open-minded, love good vibes, and are up for an adventure, you’ll fit right in.

Question 4

When are the surf lessons?

Accepted Answer

Surf sessions are planned around the ocean, as the tides and wind have a lot of impact on our schedule! The surf sessions are usually between 6:30am - 6pm.

Exact surf times are confirmed one day in advance, as they depend on tides and changing conditions.

We’ll always keep you updated with daily plans and any adjustments along the way.
Flexibility is part of the experience, welcome to the adaptable life of a surfer ;)

Can I attend on my own?

Question 10

What happens if the surf conditions are not great?

Accepted Answer

The ocean is unpredictable so it is important to remember the waves change on a daily basis and depend on various factors (swell, wind, weather conditions) therefore, we are unable to guarantee clean perfect waves every surf sessions.

Our instructors will always try their best to find the most suitable surf spot for all levels of the group.

Question 11

What happens if the weather won't be great?

We aim to work with nature, rather than against it.
