It was really fun and we learned to surf in a very short time.

Great Lesson!
My son and his cousins booked a beginner surf lesson with Shamier at Muizenberg Beach. Great experience overall. Great communication, easy to book and pay. Solid lesson with lots of fun on the beach. The GoPro video clip we got was the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to try out surfing in Cape Town.

IT was a wonderful day and experience and I had a lot of fun.
We surfed almost tow hours and learnt a lot how to surf and most important how to stay on the board, it was a lot of fun

I had an amazing experience learning to surf in Cape Town. My surf instructor was truly outstanding — professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable and confident, even as a beginner. His teaching style was clear and easy to understand, breaking down each step in a simple way that made learning fun and stress-free. He paid close attention to technique and safety, always encouraging me while giving helpful corrections. What I appreciated most was his positive energy and patience. He never rushed me and always motivated me to try again until I succeeded. Thanks to him, I was able to stand on the board and ride my first wave — such an unforgettable moment! He also offers GoPro video recordings, which is a fantastic way to capture the experience and see your progress. It was not only a lesson but a truly fun and memorable adventure. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Cape Town who wants to learn how to surf. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve your skills, he is the instructor you can trust. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
