About this experience

Surf Lessons in Souvala is a structured surf coaching activity on the north coast of Aegina, Greece. The lessons take place at the sheltered bay of Souvala, where consistent summer meltemi winds create reliable small waves for beginners and intermediates. Certified instructors provide equipment and safety briefings, with sessions tailored to each participant's skill level.

What to expect

Each lesson lasts 90 minutes, including a 15-minute land-based technique drill before entering the water.
All equipment is supplied: soft-top surfboard, leash, wetsuit (in cooler months), and reef-safe sunscreen.
Groups are capped at six students per instructor, ensuring individual feedback on paddling, pop-up, and turning.
The teaching area is a shallow, sandy-bottomed cove with no rocks, making it safe for first-timers and children aged 8 and up.
Participants practice catching unbroken waves in the open-water section, with the instructor guiding via headset for real-time correction.
A post-session video review is included, showing your technique from a shore-mounted camera for self-assessment.
