We offer private five lesson ‘freezer’ packages. Unique to our Surf School and a Muizenberg favourite; our private lesson ‘freezer’ packages offer a 25% discount when purchasing the 5 Private Surf lesson package.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Freezer lesson?

A freezer lessons a one hour ‘one on one’ lesson for children under the age of 10 years old. This lesson is aimed at our younger surfers ‘groms’ to get them into the water whilst making them feel comfortable and supported.

Can I have 2 participants with one instructor?

For participants under the age of 10 we recommend ‘one on one’ lessons. Our Freezer lesson offering doesn’t change in price if you add more participants like our Private Surf Lessons do.

Can my child and their friend do the lesson together?

On a Freezer lesson each participant will receive their own instructor but all beach work and warm ups can be done together.

Can my child do the 1.5hr private lessons even if they are under 10 years old?

Yes, Definitely. Our freezer lessons were designed for children as we noticed that many smaller children couldn’t last a full lesson without getting cold. However if you think your child can do the 1.5 hour lesson it is possible to.
