Meeting & Preparation
Meet us directly on Salie Nord beach, 500 metres to the south, at the booked time. You will see our OCEAN ROOTS surf camp with marquees on the beach. Please confirm the schedule with the surf club. Then we will go to the beach, where you will be given the necessary equipment and you can change. We don't train on the sand, we go straight into the water! To warm up, we will start the session with bodyboarding. Depending on your level, the instructor will adapt the session.
