Program
Surf lessons
Advance your surfing skills with lessons tailored to your levels, from beginners to intermediates, under the guidance of a multilingual coach fluent in Italian, English, and French. Lessons are conducted in small groups (1 instructor to 5 surfers) to ensure personalized attention and optimal learning conditions. Each session includes the use of eco-friendly wetsuits, soft surfboards suited for different skill levels, and additional gear like booties and 5:4:3 wetsuits to ensure comfort in the water. The surfboards come in three main sizes to perfectly match each surfer's physique and skill level.
Yoga and meditation session with Jade
Enhance your flexibility, balance, and mental clarity with a yoga and meditation session tailored for surfers, helping you improve your surfing skills and overall well-being. Yoga is a fundamental practice for surfers; it enhances performance and corrects imbalances caused by surfing, making it an essential part of your training regimen.
Transportation
Travel comfortably in the 7-seater Toyota Land Cruiser to all scheduled surf lessons and activities. Local transportation is handled by Winki Waves' team, including a dedicated driver who is ready to showcase the area's best spots. They can also arrange evening trips to local scenic points to enjoy sunsets, adding to the overall experience.
Photo analysis
Benefit from personalized feedback through professional video and photo analysis sessions, designed to help you see and understand your progress and areas for improvement. Surfing is all about the details. By slowing down to focus on correct movements, rather than just maximizing practice time, you can achieve faster and more enduring progress. This is why tailored video or photo analyses, adjusted according to each surfer's level, are crucial for enhancing your skills effectively.
