Theory and warm up sessions before getting into the surf is just as important to us as the surfing! We like to make sure our guests have all the knowledge they need about what to expect when paddling out towards the waves, this is particularly important for our guests who have never surfed before 🌊

Warming up can also help prevent straining and injury of your muscles so we always take the time to put our guests through a warm up session before jumping into the sea.

Our surf guides have a very important job at keeping you safe at all times whilst making the sessions enjoyable for each level of ability.

This is why we have multiple levels to match each surfer to their ability. Not every spot and location in the area has the same waves. This is why our surf guides at Rapture are experts in the understanding the breaks, assessing the water conditions and selecting breaks that are appropriate to each level.

Our surf guides are all locals from the area and have been surfing the breaks all their lives.

Pool training 🏊

We also teach tricks that help us to get out back, such as turtle rolling and duck diving through waves.

Where can I learn to surf over Christmas?🌊

Christmas is a perfect time to learn to surf and treat yourself and/or your loved ones to a surf trip of a lifetime🏄

In fact.. we have a whole blog written on WHY these locations are amazing places to visit over Christmas for a surf holiday🎄🌊☀️ check out the link in our bio for this informative blog.

Otherwise, here's a small description taken from our blog to tell you WHY we think these locations are the best!

1. Taghazout🇲🇦: Around December, you will easily find more than 15 surf spots around Taghazout. And if you are planning to go surfing in December to escape the cold weather, this is the perfect place Morocco has warm temperatures during most parts of the year including the month of December.

2. Bali🇮🇩: Bali has great surfing opportunities all year round. November to March is its wet season which despite the rains is an excellent time to go surfing in Bali. You are bound to find lesser crowds during this time.

3. Nicaragua🇳🇮: When it comes to surfing in December, Nicaragua is a top destination for both beginners and advanced surfers. With warm waters and consistent waves, it offers the perfect conditions for a thrilling surf session during the holiday season. December falls in Nicaragua’s dry season, which typically is from November to April.

Remember to check out our blog in our bio to read a more in depth description about each of these amazing locations.

And... let go🧘 we take pride in offering soulful yoga classes for our guests.. but you might ask, how does yoga help surfing? Here are just three ways yoga can help you progress with catching waves🌊

1. Balance and Stability: Yoga poses, especially those focusing on balance, help improve your overall stability. This is crucial when you're on a surfboard, riding the unpredictable movements of the ocean.

2. Flexibility: Surfing demands a wide range of motion, and yoga is fantastic for increasing flexibility. It ensures your body can move fluidly, helping you paddle efficiently and pop up on your board with ease.

3. Breath Control: Yoga emphasizes mindful breathing, which is beneficial for surfers. Controlled breathing helps you stay calm, focused, and conserves energy, vital when you're navigating challenging waves.

A picture from our amazing active yoga class session with - Juli provides the most incredible soothing yoga classes - something you don't want to miss!
