Q. Can I surf even if it rains?
A. Yes! You can! The rain will just wash over you after the sea water!
Q. Can young children surf?
A. Yes! Height is more important than age. Children over 120 cm can participate, and on days with smaller waves, children around 100 cm can join.
Conditions may vary depending on wave status, so please contact us for details.
Q. How many lessons do I need before surfing alone?
A. It varies per person. Practice frequency is more important than number of lessons! Our school helps you level up your skills.
Q. Can I buy a cheap board to practice by myself?
A. Low-quality boards may cause bad habits due to poor balance. We provide high-quality boards worth over 600,000 KRW. We recommend improving your skills with us before moving on to a hard-top board.
Q. I’m afraid of the ocean.
A. Fear often comes from the unknown, just like being more scared at night than daytime. Learn about the sea and waves with our instructors, and start surfing confidently!
Q. When is the best time to learn surfing?
A. Anytime is good! Surfing is not just standing on a board but riding the waves. Beginners are encouraged to start when waves are smaller and easier to enter.
Q. I want to learn side riding!
A. Side riding requires distinguishing the A-frame, peak, and shoulder of a wave. It needs lots of practice and understanding. Before visiting, daily practice on takeoff and paddling on land will reduce mistakes in the water.
Lesson times may change based on local weather, waves, and tides.
