Alanya Wave Surf Course

You don't have to endure cold water to learn to surf; Alanya's year-round warm Mediterranean, combined with the winter surf season, offers an ideal environment for learning. This surf course connects you step by step with the fundamentals of surfing under certified instructors, with views of Cleopatra Beach and the historic castle. You'll make a solid start in the regular waves brought by the southern winds.

Why surf at Alanya?

Alanya's greatest advantage is the warm sea water that doesn't chill you while learning, letting you stay in the water longer and practice repeatedly. The regular waves produced by southern and southwesterly winds in winter provide predictable conditions where you can safely try your techniques. The wide sands of Cleopatra Beach offer an ideal area for land drills, while the castle and Taurus Mountains wrap your learning in an inspiring atmosphere.

What will you learn in the course?

Your training begins with fundamentals on land: the parts of the board, the correct lying position, and repeating the pop-up movement on the sand many times. Then you move into the warm water to learn effective paddling, steering the board toward the wave, and keeping your balance. Your instructor shows you wave reading, how southern-wind waves behave, and correct timing. Standing up, staying on the board, and steering progress step by step. Sea safety, reading currents, and self-rescue techniques are integral parts of the training.

Who is it suitable for?

This course is ideal for beginners who want to start from scratch. Those who have tried a few times but want to improve their technique will benefit greatly. Knowing how to swim and having basic fitness is enough. An optional certificate of participation is available at the end.
