If you can catch green (unbroken) waves on your own and you can turn your board down the line you're ready for this coaching day.

Here are the two examples of the waves breaking so that you can judge yourself which wave suites you best:
135CM WAVE EXAMPLE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuLhmDCdcj0
150CM WAVE EXAMPLE: (COMING SOON)

Even if your session or surf class is completely full, you can surf at least 10 to 13 waves per session.

If the session is not full, you have a chance to catch some more.

How does it work with catching waves?

After the mandatory safety briefing, you enter the water at the beach side called De Baai. From there, you paddle to the Rif and the take-off zone. A line-up forms there. You wait here until it’s your turn for your wave. We generate a new wave every 7 seconds, so you’ll always have your turn quickly again. After riding out the wave, you paddle back to the take-off zone. At the end of the session, you leave the surf pool again at the beach side of the pool.

- Towel

- Wetsuit (if not rented)

- Board (if not rented).  (I always encourage to take your own board if possible.)

- Notepad (or any preferred method of taking notes)

- Sunscreen

- Energizing snack + water for in between sessions (tip: think about enough protein for breakfast and the snack)

Personal preference:
- Extra full meal besides the included luncch (for in between sessions or after the full day) (You can also choose something from the Wavepool restaurant menu: https://rif010.nl/restaurant. But can't guarantee this is perfect on time and in synchronisation with the sessions.)

Can I rent a wetsuit/surfboard?
You can borrow a wetsuit/softtop if needed (included in the price),

You can rent a hardtop at Rif010. Please get in contact with Rif010.nl for specific questions about boards for hire via their website or email: [email protected]

The Rif010 wavepool uses 'Waveloch' technology which uses airpumps to generate the waves.

They have 5 chambers and can make an a range of different waves.
