Surfing in Israel and Tel Aviv has been booming in the last 5 years.
People love to surf here and the mediterranean can produce fun waves year round.
The surf community is live and kicking, many surf shops around, easy to surf brakes, close to the beach hostels and airbnb’s and warm weather most of the time.
Because of that we see a growing demand for surf lessons and surf courses by tourists who come to israel year round.
There are many surf schools around, so how to choose the right one for you as a tourist (have limited time, want to get the best out of your money, receive the best professional guidance).
Here some useful tips if you consider taking some surf lessons in Tel aviv:
- Make sure the instructor you will get is NOT a young and inexperienced (non certificated) surf guide who has very few years as a surfer or a senior professional? you don’t want to learn your whole life surf fundamentals from such “pro’s”
- Is this surf school you chose focus on adults or mainly runs (summer) camps for kids?
- Do you find yourself connected to the school DNA?
- What do you see if you check the surf school google (or similar) reviews? Who are the people who wrote these reviews ? Can you identify with them?
- check the surf school website / instagram to get more info and see their vibe – eventually you will be under their supervision in a quiet stressful environment.
- private lesson? Group lesson? custom made lesson for your needs? how much they are flexible from one angle and how much they show you professionalism in planning with your learning procedure?
- Surf Equipment: is it a Boutique surf school with high end surfboards and wetsuits or a place who runs summer schools and rents its equipment daily to anybody?
