Our school offers ISA-certified (International Surfing Association) instructors and apply innovative, effective surf teaching following ISA standards.
For Beginners lesson runs all year round: Depending on the wave conditions, we will teach our Surf Courses at Hon Chong Beach or Bai Dai Beach
Our Beginners Surf Classes are suitable for anyone who: has never surfed before, has only a little experience with surfing or it’s been a long time since you last surfed.
Hon Chong Beach is an excellent surf spot with many surf spots on the same beach. The season starts at the beginning of October, towards the end of the surf season in March
For intermediate surfers who wish to work on their surf skills, we offer a Private Intermediate Surf Course. You are an intermediate surfer if you can catch waves without assistance and comfortably traverse (turn) across an unbroken (green) wave in both directions. In general, an intermediate surfer has been surfing anywhere from a few months to several years.
SURF CLASS LESSON PLAN
For those who have never surfed before, our 3-hour Lesson Plan starts with 15 minutes of Beginners’ Surf Theory. Thereafter, we start practising in the water with instructors during our 1st Surf (45 minutes), followed by a 15-minute Water Break. After that, the instructors will take the students for our 2nd Surf (45 minutes). Once the instructor has completed the lesson, the students have an additional 60 minutes to surf independently without instructor assistance. This helps cement what they learnt in class earlier.
TIMING & DEPARTURE TIME FROM NHA TRANG
Each surf course lasts 3 HOURS (on spot). Including pick up and return, you should set aside roughly 4 to 5 hours for surfing with us, depending on the surf spot.
Every day, our instructors will choose the best time & tide for the best surfing conditions and inform all surf students and rental customers the day before.

-For those who have always wanted to try surfing, we teach our beginner’s course on Bai Dai Beach or Hon Chong Beach near Nha Trang city, an excellent beach break for beginners. No worries, even if you don’t know how to swim – we conduct our surf courses in waist-deep shallow waters so students can walk around in the water with their surfboards. Our school specialises in teaching complete beginners who have never surfed before.
-If you have never surfed before, then your first-ever surf class will start with a short theory session to educate you on the basics of surfing (see Lesson Plan). We will teach you the correct technique to stand up on the board, how to paddle and catch waves, how to ride the waves, how to handle the surfboard safely in the water & other essential skills.
If you surf with us over the course of several days, the instructors will monitor your individual surfing progression and develop your surf skills to include learning how to turn the surfboard, how to accelerate & control speed whilst riding the waves and proper techniques to progress to the next level of surfing. The instruction will be addressed to your specific ability.
Our photographer goes every morning to shoot the last surf session. We provide photo reviews of your surfing during which we analyse your surfing and advise on the correct technique.
