If you can catch green (unbroken) waves on your own and steering down the line you're ready for the wavepool surfcoaching.
HOW MANY WAVES CAN I SURF PER SESSION?
Even if your session or surf class is completely full, you can surf at least 10 to 13 waves per session.
If 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.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
- 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 (food available at the wavepool: https://rif010.nl/restaurant)
CAN I RENT A WETSUIT/BOARD?
Yes, this is all possible.
Please get in contact with Rif010.nl for specific questions about boards and wetsuits for hire via their website or email: [email protected]
WHAT WAVEPOOL TECHNOLOGY IS USED?
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.
