8 Day Learn to Surf Camp
Day 1 - Arrival Day - Sunday
Day 2
Start the morning with a cappuccino before your 2-hour morning group lesson, (we never have more than 5 surfers in any of our groups). In this first lesson, you will learn the basics of paddling, catching white waters and standing up, if you have never surfed before. The instructor will assess your surfing skills, so that we can customise your package according to your ability and allocate you the appropriate equipment. Return to Coffee Shack for a delicious breakfast. Your first private lesson will be at 12:00 midday. The private lessons are exclusive to your group who are doing the “Surf Package”.
After the private lesson you have time to relax, enjoy the hammocks, explore Coffee Bay, or go on a hike. The first theory lesson, an “Introduction to surf equipment”, is before dinner. Dinner is a hearty two course meal, served at 19:00. After dinner enjoy the company of travellers around the campfire or get some much-deserved sleep.

Surf Lessons in South Africa
With the beach to ourselves most of the year, the soft easy, gentle gradient of Coffee Bay beach makes it the perfect spot to learn to surf or to work on improving your surfing technique and skills. Conditions are often perfect for lessons with super safe, waist deep water for your surf lessons. We use the best learner specific soft boards, and as you progress we can also supply more advanced boards for the intermediate surfer. Our focus is on you learning to surf quickly, effectively and with style; secondly as with all things ‘Coffee Shack’, is that you have ‘FUN” and enjoy the experiences whilst learning something new.
