Semi Private
Surf Lessons

Semi-private surf lessons are a great option for those who want a more personalized surfing experience but still enjoy learning alongside a friend, family member, or partner. In these lessons, you’ll be part of a small group, typically consisting of 2 to 3 participants, allowing for more focused attention from our experienced instructors. This format ensures that each participant receives tailored guidance and feedback, while also benefiting from the group dynamic and shared learning experience. Semi-private lessons are perfect for couples, friends, or family members who want to learn and progress together in their surfing journey.

There are several benefits to taking a semi-private surf lesson, including:

1. Personalized Instruction: With a smaller group size, our experienced instructors can provide more focused attention to each participant, ensuring that everyone receives customized guidance and feedback based on their individual skill level and progress.

2. Faster Progress: The increased attention from instructors in semi-private lessons allows participants to receive immediate feedback and adjustments, helping them to improve their surfing skills more quickly and efficiently.

3. Shared Experience: Learning to surf alongside a friend, partner, or family member can be a fun and memorable experience. It allows participants to encourage and support each other, creating a positive and enjoyable learning environment.

4. Cost-Effective: While still offering a personalized experience, semi-private lessons are more affordable than one-on-one private lessons. This can be a great option for those who want a tailored learning experience without breaking the bank.

5. Flexibility: Semi-private lessons can be scheduled according to the availability and preferences of the participants, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules or specific time constraints.

6. Build Confidence: The supportive atmosphere of a semi-private surf lesson allows participants to build confidence in their surfing abilities while also learning from the progress and experiences of the other group members.

A semi-private surf lesson works as follows:

3. Warm-Up and Safety Briefing: Your instructor will begin the lesson with a brief warm-up and safety discussion, covering essential topics such as ocean safety, surf etiquette, and proper stretching techniques.

In a semi-private surf lesson for two participants, the surfing partners are typically determined by the participants themselves. As you make your booking, you’ll have the opportunity to inform us of your desired partner, whether it’s a friend, family member, or significant other. This allows you to learn and progress alongside someone you know and feel comfortable with, ensuring a more enjoyable and customized experience.
