GRAYKITE SURF SCHOOL
So you want to learn how to surf? Good, you’ve come to the right place. The instructors at our Cape Town Surf School have many years of experience and a life of surfing passion to share with you. We can customise every surf lesson specifically for you.
Using the same teaching methodology we apply to our kitesurfing lessons, our surfing instructors will tailor each lesson to your current ability, learning type and personality. You’ll learn to ride a board, read the waves and surf like a pro.
For beginners we use soft surf boards, which offer an easier, more floatable board to learn on and a more comfortable ride when you fall or tumble. For advanced surfing lessons you have the option of using a higher performance, traditional surfboard.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
If you are a ‘doer’ then we let you learn by doing. You will progress at your natural rate, improving your skills safely and potentially much faster.
If you’re a ‘visual’ learner we’ll give you demonstrations, using a hands-on approach until you fully grasp each component and want to try for yourself.
If you prefer to learn by listening we’ll adapt the lesson for you and explain everything step by step until you’re comfortable to head out on to the water.
Whichever approach works for you, we’ll encourage you and increase your knowledge and confidence until you’re ready to progress. You will gain a thorough understanding of why and how each aspect of surfing works until you feel confident to get up on the board on your own. It’ll soon be second nature to you. We know what we’re doing, it won’t take long!
