Surf lessons at Surfers Corner, Muizenberg, run from shopfronts on the beachfront. Board and wetsuit are included, and the wave there is about as forgiving as a first surf gets.
Surfers Corner at Muizenberg is where most people in Cape Town first stand up on a board. The wave is a long, slow, sandy-bottomed beach break that reforms all the way to the beach, which is close to ideal for learning.
Lessons are run from shopfronts on the Muizenberg beachfront, a few minutes’ walk from the water. A board and a wetsuit come with the lesson, and the water is cold enough that the wetsuit is not optional.
Schools run year round and seven days a week. Lesson times move with the tide rather than the clock, and slots are booked rather than walked into, so arrive a few minutes early or the session gets shorter.
