Learning
to surf is easy, safe and whole lot of fun in the sun. Dolphins
Surfing the same waves with you is a experience not to be missed. J
Bay offers fairly warm waters and well protected surf conditions in
a safe environment.
Jeffreys
Bay is an obvious choice for surfers, being Africa's surf capital
and your ideal all year surf destination. We cater for all surfers
from complete novices to pros. We aim to get you to where the swell
is best and the crowds least.
Jeffreys
Bay Main Beach has the right kind of waves for beginner surfers
to learn on. There are no rocks and there are always decent
sandbanks close to the shore, which means that beginners never have
to venture deep out into the ocean to catch waves. It is
rarely so flat in J’Bay that novice surfers cannot catch small
foamies (broken waves), which is all you are after when learning how
to surf.
During
your stay your stay you will visit a surfboard shaper, visit the
Jeffreys Bay Surf Museum, buy loads of cheap surf gear at the Surf
Factory Shops, Billabong, Quicksilver, Roxy, ect.
The
surf school will teach the basics of wave riding and ocean
safety. At the surf school you will be given a surfboard and a
wetsuit to use and a surf instructor will take you into the water
and make your first experience seem effortless.
Special boards are used for complete
beginners. Depending on surf conditions lessons are run daily. All
equipment provided
A beginner surf
lesson lasts for 2 hours. Every morning at 10:00 weather
permitting.
The lesson is
broken down as follows:
1) Introduction
2) Stretching
exercises.
3) Basic
surf theory (including safety
instruction).
4) Entering
and exiting the water.
5) Judging

6) Learning

The
surf school also offers advanced lessons where you will be paddled
out to an intermediate level surf break in Jeffreys Bay to catch
“real waves”.
