For first-time surfers and early beginners. A fun and supportive way to start your surf journey at Surf Abu Dhabi.
Discovery Surf Sessions are designed for first-time surfers and early beginners, taking place on our safe and gentle Beach Break wave. This session offers the perfect environment to learn the fundamentals of surfing, build water confidence, and get a first taste of surf culture and technique.
With the support of our experienced surf coaches, you’ll receive guidance on choosing the right equipment and learning essential skills — from paddling and popping up to understanding how to catch a wave. It’s a relaxed, small-group experience that’s both fun and educational.
The full experience lasts up to 2 hours. Please arrive at least 1 hour before your session to check in, change, attend the safety briefing, and warm up with your coach. Minimum age: 8 years old.
