To start your surfing journey, you'll want to find the perfect beach with the right conditions. Look for spots with ideal wave "breaks," consider the wind direction, ground swell, wave height, and tide (whether it's low or high). The good news is that Club Med's selected beach and sun all-inclusive resorts have already done the job for you! All you need to do is choose your ideal destination holiday resort, and you'll be set for an amazing surfing experience.
If you're new to surfing, don't worry! Taking beginner surfing lessons is the best way to get started. In these lessons, you'll learn about balance, paddling techniques, how to catch a wave, and the correct surfing stance. Club Med offers surfing lessons conducted by professional instructors who will patiently guide you through every step of the learning process. And if you're also interested in kite surfing, they've got you covered with kite surfing lessons too!
When it comes to surfing, having the right equipment is essential. You'll want to wear appropriate attire that allows you to move freely in the water. As for surfboards, there are different types available, but beginners usually start with a soft or foam board, which provides more stability and safety. The good news is that at Club Med, you can rent the necessary equipment, including surfboards, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own.
Before hitting the waves, remember to prioritise safety. Warm up and stretch your muscles to prevent injuries. Stay hydrated throughout your surfing session, especially when you're spending time under the sun. Familiarise yourself with surf etiquette, such as giving way to other surfers and respecting the local rules. Always be aware of your surroundings and check the weather conditions before heading out to the water.
