SURFING
When learning to surf with Surfaris, we teach you more than just the basics. We teach you what it means to become a surfer. From ocean awareness, swell forecasting, wind patterns & tides, to surfboard design, surf etiquette and of course – riding waves. As a complete novice you will start at the beginning, and be given a helping hand in the water. But as the days go by, you will be able to gain the skills to go surfing independently on your own. You will spend full days, on the beach and in the water, focusing on the theory and practice of surfing, each day gaining more ocean knowledge, developing your board skills and your understanding of the ocean. Our coaches will be surfing with you every step of the way.

Surfaris has access to 12 different surf breaks all within 30 min drive of our surf camp including our beach out the front of our surf camp.
