About this experience

Surf Lessons in Oudeschild is a practical surf school on the Wadden Sea coast of Texel, offering guided sessions for beginners and improvers. The school operates from the harbour village of Oudeschild, using the sheltered waters of the Marsdiep for safe instruction. Lessons are led by certified instructors who provide all necessary equipment and focus on wave reading and board control.

What to expect

Each lesson lasts 2 hours, including a 20-minute shore-based briefing on tides and safety before entering the water.
A wetsuit, surfboard, and booties are included in the lesson fee, sized to your height and weight.
You will practise paddling, pop-up technique, and riding small waves in the shallow, current-free bay adjacent to the harbour.
Sessions run from April to October, with start times aligned to low tide for optimal water conditions.
The course suits first-timers aged 12 and over, as well as surfers who can stand but want to improve turning and balance.
After the lesson, you can rinse your gear at the on-site outdoor shower and watch other groups from the beachside bench.
