Are the lessons girls only?
The lessons can be enjoyed by all ages and genders. The reason it is called, Surfer Girl Academy is because the owner is a Surfer Girl and she originally wanted to create a place for girls to feel comfortable in joining something alone.
Can the instructors speak Japanese?
Yes. There is always an instructor who can speak Japanese.
Can I join even if I cannot swim?
Yes. Please request for a life jacket at the time of reservation. If you are especially worried, we also have private lessons you can reserve for.
Will I get sea-sick?
Not all the time, but there are times that some people do get sea-sick. If you tend to get motion sickness, it is recommended for you to take some medicine prior to boarding the ship.
I have no experience, but is it ok?
Absolutely. Towards the shore, it is very shallow. You will be able to stand with no problem. You may also request for a life jacket beforehand.
Can I join by myself?
Absolutely! There are many people who join alone. We will make group lessons so please feel assured and join!
What should I bring?
Wear a swimming suit, and please bring a towel. Don’t forget your sunblock lotion and please remember to put lots of it on the bottom of your feet! Rash guards, wetsuits, reef shoes, surfboards, leash cords will all be provided for use.
Is there a photographer?
Yes, but we do not guarantee a 100% photographer, so please let us know in advance if you definitely want one.
We take photos and videos for $45 per person. You can see it immediately after the lesson is over, and if you purchase it, it will be sent by Air Drop on the spot. Alternatively, we will send you a compressed file by email on the same day. The photos are stored for 2 weeks, so if you accidentally delete them, I will resend them by email. We accept payment by cash, card, and Apple pay.
What if it rains?
Surfing will not be cancelled even if it rains. There will be cancellations only when there is a hurricane, or strong winds that may be dangerous. If this occurs, we will refund you the full amount.
Is the water cold?
We provide wetsuits free of charge.
Even those who are concerned about the water temperature can enjoy surfing without worrying.
What should we do with our valuables?
I’m sorry. Since it is at the beach, there are no lockers. Everything will be left in the car so please do not bring any valuables.
Do you have free parking?
Yes, all parking on the beach where we meet is free.
Can I take a shower after the lesson?
There are showers on the beach, and changing rooms and restrooms are located at the back of the parking lot.
I have been surfing for years, but I want to get better. Would this be possible?
Yes! We have many skilled instructors, so it would be a great opportunity to up your skills. From the day you join our class, you will love surfing even more!
Is surfing fun?
All of us will make sure you have fun!!
