Surf Emporium offers you a unique surfing experience catering for all your surfing needs. We are situated on the Muizenberg beach-front. Surf Emporium is home to the Roxy Surf School for ladies and girls and the Surf Riders surf school for men and boys.
Programme Structure As each participant is a unique individual their learning rate and technique will differ, which is why we developed a specialised surfing programme that not only helps them focus on their strengths but also facilitates growth and strengthens their weaker areas that are identified. The Participants have the option of signing up for private lessons, the 1 month group or the 4 month programme. In the 4 month programme participants go through a step-by-step schedule (16 lessons in total - 1 lesson per week) allowing them to gain a full understanding of surfing and beach safety as well as gain confidence in themselves as individuals.
Why Surfing? Surfing is an exciting active sport reconnecting people with the outdoor environment, allowing them to take up a new sport, meet like-minded people and gain a greater appreciation for the outdoors and the world around us.
