Learn to Surf at Atlantic Park Surf

You don't need any surf experience to book at Atlantic Park Surf. The two entry levels, Beginner and Novice, come with group coaching, a wetsuit and a soft-top board.

Beginner sessions

Beginner sessions use gentle, slow-moving whitewater waves, so newcomers can practise, pop up and catch their first waves. Every Beginner session includes group coaching: a 30-minute land lesson on the basics of paddling and standing up.

Novice sessions

Novice is the next step, for surfers who've mastered the whitewater and want to ride gentle, open-face waves. It includes the same group coaching, wetsuit and soft-top.

Where to go next

After Novice comes Progressive: waist-high, slow-peeling open-face waves for working on your take-off, board control and trimming. Then Intermediate, with chest-high waves. See every level in our Atlantic Park Surf session types guide.

Private coaching

For one-on-one help, Atlantic Park Surf offers Private Coaching tailored to your goals and level, and Private Coaching with Video Analysis.

Surf Academy

Surf Academy pairs weekly water sessions with expert coaching, with a Beginner track and an Advanced track. It suits surfers who want regular, coached progress.

Who can learn

Public sessions, including Beginner and Novice, are for ages 8 and up. Younger children (from 6) can surf in a private rental if they're capable swimmers.
