• Level 1: Beginner – You’ve never surfed before or have minimal experience. You’ll need to learn basic techniques, safety protocols, and ocean awareness.
• Level 2: Intermediate – An area that students can expect to spend a lot of time in. This is where surfers become independent, and start to develop consistency in their successes.
• Level 3: Advanced – Surfers have made the most difficult step and have become fully independent surfers. They have progressed from riding straight towards the beach to comfortably surfing down the line in either direction. Some surfers will remain at this level for their entire lives and enjoy surfing intermediate-advanced breaks around the world.
• Level 4: Performance – Surfers are comfortable in waves up to head high in all conditions and have the skills to push their surfing in bigger conditions under the guidance of coaches. Can read the ocean well and demonstrate good positioning and wave selection the majority of the time.

• Surf Camps: Offer immersive experiences where you can focus intensely on learning and improving over a few days to weeks. Great for beginners and intermediates who want a concentrated learning experience.
• Daily Classes: Perfect for those with a busy schedule who prefer gradual progress. These classes are offered most days and can be booked at your convenience.
• Private Lessons: Ideal for personalized attention, allowing instructors to tailor lessons specifically to your needs and goals.
• Club Sessions: For intermediate surfers who are looking for consistency to continue to progress all summer long. Often meets once or twice a week.

• Certifications and Experience: Look for programs with certified, experienced instructors who have a track record of effectively teaching students at your skill level.
• Instructor-to-Student Ratio: Smaller ratios often mean more personalized attention and faster progress.
• Facilities: Evaluate the equipment provided, such as surfboards and wetsuits, and the quality and safety of the location where lessons are held.
