    FAQs

    Join if you can pop up to your feet, understand basic surf safety and etiquette, navigate over and through whitewater on your own, and know correct wipeout technique. In-water instructors can assist with wave catching at the peak if you can’t paddle in.

    Bring boardshorts or a bathing suit and a towel. A rashguard is optional. You can also bring your own surfboard.

    You can use a surfboard from the complimentary quiver or bring your own. This session is best with a foam board, mid length, or longboard; shortboards are not recommended. Since you surf over a concrete reef, expect a risk of minor dings—leave your favorite board at home.

    The energy here is genuinely contagious. Instructors like Kara, Cara, Shahaf, and Aaron consistently earn high praise for being patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging, helping complete beginners get up and riding within a single session. The wave itself holds up well, offering a clean, powerful ride that lets you work all the way down the line. Several regulars note they've gotten more quality practice here in two hours than during entire ocean seasons. A couple of things worth knowing before you go. The music runs loud, which adds to the atmosphere but can make conversation tough during your session. There have also been isolated reports of last-minute cancellations with poor communication, so it's worth confirming your booking beforehand. Facility cleanliness has come up in a handful of reviews, though experiences seem to vary, with some guests finding everything spotless and others less impressed. For most visitors though, this is a memorable outing with a staff that clearly loves what they do. The auto video feature is a nice touch for tracking your progress, and the team has a knack for making families and solo learners alike feel welcome. If you're trying to build surf skills or just want consistent waves without dealing with unpredictable ocean conditions, this is a solid option close to the city.
