SURF COACHING
DONE DIFFERENTLY
What sets us apart is simple: everything we do is built around you. Rather than running generic group lessons, we design an immersive coaching experience tailored to your level, your goals, and the way you learn best.
Our focus isn’t just on helping you catch better waves during your stay — it’s on giving you the knowledge, confidence, and tools to keep progressing long after you leave.
YOUR STAY
YOU FOCUS ON SURFING, WE TAKE CARE OF THE REST.
Book your flight — we’ll take care of the rest. From airport pick-up to personalised coaching, every detail of your stay is thoughtfully handled before you arrive.
At Tiny Whale, hospitality is everything. Our in-house chef prepares nourishing meals, including beautifully crafted three-course dinners, and our lodge is designed for true rest — cosy spaces, quiet corners, and room to reset between sessions. Even the smallest details are covered, so you can fully switch off and immerse yourself in surf, recovery, and great company.

“Best surf trip of my life. For me personally, the audience was especially pleasant, as the average age was over 30 years and this is not just about partying like in some other surf camps. The schedule is really tight, but you can achieve incredible improvements in surfing (theory and practice) and surf skating within a week.”
