Process

Why Us?

Because we care about your progress!

01

Awareness

We teach you about ocean safety and surf etiquette step by step to build confidence in the water.

02

Familiarization

You'll learn about the equipment like which board to use and how to use it, as well as do's and don'ts.

03

Paddling

We'll practice paddling and body placement on the board before hitting the waves.

04

Pop-Up

We will practice the pop-up on land multiple times, so once we're in the water your muscle memomery kicks in.

05

Wave Reading

Together we will identify and choose the right waves based on your skills and practice it in the water once you're ready.

06

Catch & Ride

In the water we will make sure you catch some waves and refine the technique to build confidence and skill.

Testimonials

Riders’ Words

Real stories from students who’ve paddled out, stood up, and fallen in love with the waves.

TL;DR: Amazing experience 🌊 Great coaching, super smooth coordination, and I had an absolute blast. As a complete beginner, I left confident enough to keep surfing on my own and genuinely hooked.”

I can highly recommend surfing with Mbuso! After a long break, it worked out perfectly for both my partner (a complete beginner) and me. Mbuso adjusted really well to our different levels and gave great instructions, so we were catching waves quickly. If you want to learn to surf in Muizenberg, SurfXCape and Mbuso are the right choice. PS: Mbuso’s laugh and positive attitude are contagious!

Mbuso was a very patient instructor for an 11 year old first time surfer who loved the experience so much he’s booked in for his next one on one lesson.

Every time I leave Mbuso’s surf lesson, I feel like a different person. 🏄🏻‍♀️ He gives me so much hope and energy for the next wave. Mbuso is exactly what a great teacher should be: professional, incredibly observant in the water, and deeply empathetic. As an intermediate surfer, I had so much fun while improving a lot - and I can easily imagine he’s amazing with beginners too, because he explains things clearly and makes you feel safe and confident. 🌊 Highly recommended to surf with this pro 🏆
