Surf Course Content for Advanced Surfers
The advanced surfing course (level 2 ) is aimed at surfers who have successfully completed at least one week’s surfing course, can perform a safe takeoff, and every so often ride green waves.
- Improve your paddling and diving technique
- Assessing conditions (accurately analyse the tide & wind charts for your location)
- Lining yourself up / timing and positioning of the lineup

We adapt the course aims individually to your abilities; you train independently within your course group.

We also advise you on choosing the right surfboard; we have many different models and shapes for you to try out.

Activity Level: Relaxed
Yes, this one is fine for anybody who can swim and would like to either learn to surf or improve their surfing. You are free to surf as much or as little as you like and you are always supervised by qualified instructors during the courses.
Thanks to Luis’ incredible patience & detailed advice, I now swallow half as much water and surf twice as many waves :)
