Training session:
During a Training Session, you`ll surf the wave for 60 minutes, without a guided warm-up. Training sessions are suitable for all surfers that surf advanced surf level 3. The surf equipment is included in all sessions.
Surf session (all level):
A 90-minute surf experience always includes a surf warm-up (45 minutes) and a surf session on the wave (45 minutes).
Beginner surf course:
The beginner surf course lasts three hours, of which 2 x 45 min. are spent on the wave.
Between the two sessions there is a theory unit and individual tips.
The newly acquired knowledge can be tested and internalized in the second session.WHICH LEVEL SHOULD I BOOK?

Surfing and Kids
How old does my child need to be to surf?
With rapid surfing, age is less important than weight.
All children (regardless of age) must be able to weigh at least 30 kg to be allowed to surf.
Due to motoric development, we recommend letting children surf from the age of 6.What session should I book for my child? A beginner or kids session?
In theory, both is possible.
Our recommendation:
• For children from 30 kg and up to around 9 years who have no surfing experience, we recommend the Kids Surf & Splash Session to get used to the waves playfully. The wave is turned on later.
• Children over the age of 9 and/or who already have surfing experience and/or swim safely and/or play other board sports can also start directly with the Beginner Surf Session with handrail. Difference: The wave is switched on from the start and there is no splashing in the calmer water beforehand.
• If parents and children want to book a first surf session together, we recommend the Beginner Surf Session with handrail.
