Where will you stay?

You will stay in African Soul Surfer, a large 3-story building overlooking Surfers Corner with direct beach access, no need to drive to the beach! Suit up inside, grab your board, and paddle out! Hot shower and cold beer waiting for you when you do
All rooms have epic sea views, you can literally watch the waves from your bed
Very popular cafe on site serving healthy food, great coffee, cold beers, and plenty of evening entertainment
Short walk to many other local eateries, supermarkets, and surf shops
The owner is a lifelong, local surfer, and his team of experienced local instructors will get you to have the best time surfing possible. And can give the inside tips on where else to surf if wanting to explore, the best places to eat local, and things not to miss to make the most authentic experience while you are with African Soul Surfer

Program

You will have one coach assigned to you for the duration of your program, to build on each day to day’s progression. Starting with day 1 beach theory, surfing together, and then tailoring which areas are most important for you to focus on.

A typical day will start with a yoga class (optional) followed by a healthy brunch overlooking the waves and planning the goals for the session. Then we hit the waves for a 1.5-hour surf. Break for lunch then afternoon free surf. If conditions permit we will travel to different breaks, depending on surf conditions and your ability level. Evenings are free to chill and rest up for the next day!

You are an intermediate surfer if you are inconsistent with catching waves making take-offs, not so sure how to read the waves, struggle with positioning in the lineup and have trouble doing a good bottom turn but are able to surf down the line.

This means you aren't a beginner anymore, and now it's time to start progressing. So our intermediate coaching is perfect for you. You will learn about good board positioning, which waves to catch, improved take-offs and bottom turn combos, and maybe even start working on some cutbacks. A week is better than a few days!
