How to Enjoy

Your session, step by step

No experience needed. Here's exactly how a day at citywave works.

1

Reserve

Pick an open slot on the booking calendar. First time? We recommend the Beginner course. Private bookings available on request.

2

Check in

Arrive about 30 minutes before your session. Relax in the lounge and watch staff demos and other surfers ride.

3

Safety briefing

We walk you through helmet and board handling, safety points and surfing basics so everyone can ride with confidence.

4

Ride with the bar

Feel the wave while holding the support bar. Once you're comfortable (about 10 min), let go and practice on your own.

5

Hands-on support

With the bar removed, an instructor steadies you by hand. Got the hang of it? Let go and ride solo.

6

Surf & try tricks

Ride freely without support. From rail work to spins and even air reverses — build skills that carry over to the ocean.

If any first-timer is in the session, it starts with the bar lesson.
If all participants prefer, the bar lesson and hands-on support can be skipped.
