Safety is our most important aspect

Our highest priority is  to pay attention to our guests’ safety in and out of the sea. We want to make sure that nobody gets hurt and everyone  is able to identify threats in time. We strive to minimize hazards  at all times.

We coach

• in small groups only, with an instructor-students-ratio from 1:6 – if there are more than 6 students or kids in a surf lesson there will be a second instructor and life guard on the beach.
• with licensed and experienced surf instructors and trained life guards. (click here to see our licences)
• using the most  effective methods and reasonable constitutive theory and practical training guidelines.
• with risk and injury minimizing material like soft bards with flexible fins and ripcurl wetsuits.
• on perfect spots depending on surf level from beginners to advanced surfers. For beginners we search for shallow declining beaches with great beginner-waves.

Our systematic approach depends on our guests. Our younger guests, the kids, we train surfing playfully. For stressed managers we offer lessons with relaxation parts and maybe some yoga in the evening. You will always find a good balance between dry runs outside and exercises in the water.  We have developed a special warm-up and stretching program for surfers.

Our surf lessons start with safety instructions considering the following aspects:

• Surf preparation

You will learn how to prepare for surfing at home. We will show you good exercises for your leisure time and suggest great ways to improve your endurance, interaction, velocity and flexibility. Furthermore we will assist you in choosing the right food and drinks and provide an excursion into self motivation, etc.

• Equipment and condition

We will explain different materials and board shapes to you as well as familiarising you with  aspects such as your leash, fins, and self preparation. It is important that you protect yourself with sufficient sun cream and drink enough – but there is much more to be considered.

• Risks and danger

We will comment on risks regarding the different surf spots such as currents, different breaks, consistency of the seabed (???), sand banks, tidal influences, dangers concerning sea dwellers, channels and other aspects. Of course we will talk about topics like the sun and environmental protection.

• Surfers etiquette  and board handling

We will explain the „”rules“ of this amazing sport. The guidelines well known as surfers etiquette, including respecting locals and other surfers, right of way and adequate behaviour in the water.

We will show you how to handle your board in the right way, enter the water and of course how to pop up on a surf board. We will answer all your questions and will talk about many more aspects.

• The right way of falling and to protect your head

We will show you how to fall ,  stay calm, relax under the surface and how to emerge from the water, grab your board and teach you all aspects regarding board control.

• Behaviour in emergency situations

It is very important to us that you know how to behave in emergency situations. We will show you how to save on energy and how to react in drifts and currents. We will explain the distress signal to you and demonstrate the right way to get out of the sea.
