Private Surf Lesson - including transport

Cape Town

For LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS or if you're hoping to join up with a GROUP for a lesson or 4-lesson package, please WhatsApp 0824128781 to check availability.

Activity Description

1.5-hours of private surf coaching at one of Cape Town’s most suitable surfing beaches. These private surf lessons can be tailored for beginner surfers who prefer learning outside of a general group environment or intermediate surfers wanting to improve specific skills. This option ensures exclusivity for the individual or group with a coach especially assigned to cater for your individual needs.
Private lessons can be booked for 1 person or a group wanting exclusivity. The per-person pricing decreases as the number of participants increases. For private lessons of 6 or more persons, group rates apply.

If you have previous surfing experience and wish to improve on your skills, kindly inform us at the time of booking so we can update your coach. 

Participants 6-15 years are required to book a private lesson when booking with us. 

Our headquarters are located in Camps Bay so that we have easy accessibility to both coastlines of the Peninsula. Lessons take place at the most suitable beach depending on the conditions on the day of your booking. We check the forecast on several reliable sources and combine this information with our local knowledge to decide where we will coach each day. We consider factors such as wind, tides, swell direction and ocean temperatures before making our decision to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience.

Inclusions and Exclusions

Inclusions

Surf lessons are 1.5-hours long and include the use of:
*4:3 mm wetsuit, suitable surfboard, leash, wax
*Transport from one of our city pick up points

ExclusionsPlease note we only collect at select pick up points for logistical reasons. If your exact pick up location is not on our list of pre-determined pick up points, please choose the one closest to you or email us your location so we can advise where best to meet our vehicle. Pick up locations have been strategically selected to ensure you do not need to travel/walk far to meet us if you are staying centrally in the city/Atlantic seaboard area.

Notes

We use high quality 4:3mm wetsuits to keep you warm throughout the year in the Cape Town waters. Wetsuits are well maintained-washed and rinsed after each use. We use beginner specific soft boards for those who have never touched a surfboard or only surfed a handful of times. These boards are easy to catch waves with and make standing easier as they are stable. If you have a bit more surfing experience and are wanting to use a regular epoxy/fibreglass board, kindly let us know at the time of booking.

For the transported option, we offer pick ups from locations in Cape Town city and surrounds (see pick up area list below). If you are located outside of the pick up area, we will ask you to meet us at a pre-arranged location in the city. If you are staying at a private residence/Airbnb etc, we will ask you to meet us at one of our regular pick up points closest to your accommodation. We will transport you to the beach in our comfortable van or our original surf school VW golf. Please note that you may share the transport to the beach with group lesson clients, however you will be assigned a private instructor at the beach for your lesson.

The following is the pick up schedule for our morning and afternoon lesson slots (please note the suburb where the closest pick up location is to your lodging to determine your approximate pick up time):

Camps Bay: 8:00-8:15am OR 1:00-1:15pm
City & Sea Point : 8:15-8:30am OR 1:15-1:30pm
Green Point: 8:30-8:45am OR 1:30-1:45pm

Customer Reviews

The experience in Cape Town wouldn't be complete without surfing. Thanks to Michelle I was able to surf for the very first time in my life. Although I was a beginner, she helped me with the basics. I really enjoyed the lesson, Michelle was always there to give me great advices, so I progress a lot in just 2h. Also the pick up service made my day much easier. I definitely recommend Stoked surf and Michelle if you need to surf in Cape Town ?[?]?? - Azzedine


We spent one week in CT without planning surfing lessons and contacted Stoked Surf School at the last minute to organize some surf lessons. This was one of the best decisions and these lessons were one of the best highlights of our trips. Michelle, Henri and David made have been excellent teachers: at the same time didactic and fun. They provided us with an excellent basis and got us to evolve fast while keeping an eye on the fundamentals. Would definitely recommend them. Thanks for the great time on the beach! - Khaled


Great lesson. Henri was great! - Alon


The transportation was so nice and convenient since we didn't have a vehicle. The guys were awesome! My instructor was so helpful and positive. I would for sure come back for another lesson. - John


Great instructors! I really enjoyed it :) - Dowey
