There are many exciting activities for holidaymakers to partake in whilst in J’Bay, but some of the most exhilarating must be learning how to surf. It has never been easier for visitors to learn to surf.
Main Beach has the right kind of waves for beginner surfers to learn on. There are no rocks and there are always decent sandbanks close to the shore, which means that beginners never have to venture deep out into the ocean to catch waves. It is rarely so flat in J’Bay that novice surfers cannot catch small foamies (broken waves), which is all you are after when learning how to surf.
It is also worthwhile for beginner surfers to link up with a surf school to learn the basics of wave riding and ocean safety. At a surf school, you will be given a surfboard and a wetsuit to use and a surf instructor will take you into the water and make your first experience seem effortless.
Jeffreys Bay Surf School has been the surf school of choice for locals and foreigners alike.
Beginners lessons are about 2 hours long and run twice daily, pending the weather. Or enjoy a 7-day all inclusive surf course offered for those who want to make surfing part of their lifestyle. The course is suitable for complete beginners and intermediate surfers who want to take their surfing to the next level.
