Surf Spirit
Beach Lodge

Especially rookie and experienced beginners (level 1 & 2) will love the surfing spot right outside our front door. Bonavista Bay is known as one of the best surfing spots in the world. This is because the bay is protected from prevailing wind directions and the waves are therefore more “organized” and cleaner. The wave itself breaks on sand and runs very smoothly and slowly. This is ideal for learning and improving the right technique.

So that you can be rookie or experienced beginner If you feel comfortable and safe, we will first provide you with all the basic theoretical information in our Chill Out area before we get into the water. We take our job very seriously to provide the best surfing experience possible. All Surf Spirit coaches are well-trained and experienced to provide you with the necessary analytical feedback and take your surfing to the next level. In addition to surfing lessons, you can use our equipment free of charge and also go surfing on your own at any time.

After your week at Surf Spirit Beach Lodge, you've developed a safe stand-up technique on the board, a controlled ride on the wave and can master your first manoeuvres. In addition to these skills, you will be able to independently identify good spots where you can safely go surfing yourself in the future.

Structured guiding should be seen as a supplement to our surf courses. Please note that our coaches will check whether guiding at a challenging surfing spot matches your surfing level.
