Fast respond from the staff from the first moment i contacted them.
Ive booked Surfing lessons with Josh who is a skilled and very likable instructor.  He had a lot patience with me and we figured out different techniques to make me stand on my own and surf along the crystal clear waves.
I continued doing Yoga at sunset time at the cliffs with Sacha Park. This was like a revelation to my bodyfeeling and to Yoga generally. She puts a lot of effort to experience your body and inner soul.
The Resort is beautiful, clean an safe.Â
Great fresh food for a fair price.
My time at Surfcamp South Africa cleared my mind and calmed my soul down
Would recommand it any time. Â

This is a surf school that has truly mastered the art of instructing new surfers. If you want to learn to surf with the most enthusiastic, patient and authentic instructors in the country. Then this is the most definitely the Surf Camp for you.
The pristine Cape St Francis beach break provides the perfect setting for beginners. Nature made for surfing and suitable for all ages and abilities, this beach is clean, safe and one of the most beautiful and popular beaches in South Africa.
The instructors at Surf Camp South Africa have a solid history and credibility in the South African and the International Surfing Community, also in Surf Coaching and Life Saving, both in Australia and California. Their experience and dedication in coaching people in the water is unquestionable and it is evident when watching their lessons that safety and trust are of paramount importance to them.
Cody and Andrew radiate an energy and love for surfIng that is without a doubt infectious. They have an innate ability to assess individual talent and manage to engage the new surfer in the sport instantly, their main aim is to have everyone standing up and having fun in their first lesson.
Surf Camp lessons are absolutely alive with enthusiasm, and masses of encouragement. There is no shortage of cheering, clapping and whistling for each and every effort made, they make it impossible not to have fun trying, no matter what your ability. Giving up is certainly not offered as an option, as the surfers are perpetually encouraged to paddle for "just one more wave" which very often results in the longest ride of the day and your instructor splashing and leaping around in the waves in excitement for your achievement.
Their astounding success rate is second to none, as time after time a new and happy face is seen proudly standing up and riding their first wave. (but definitely not their last) A surf lesson is truly the gift that keeps on giving. It's said that, the feeling is only known to a surfer, and the look of electric excitement on the new surfers face is an unforgettable confirmation. All this is captured by the ever present surf camp photographer, so you can take home and keep the ultimate moments.
Taking Cape St francis by storm, Surf Camp South Africa has attracted a huge following of local kids and parents, this is due to their consistent, reliable lessons and their energy and enthusiasm. They have year round support from local people, schools, businesses and international sponsors. There are also many international visitors who regularly join them for surf camps and lessons. Surf Camp South Africa is creating a great community atmosphere on the beach every weekend and bringing new surfers from all over the world together.
The instructors at this outstanding surf camp will certainly be remembered by many people from around the world, young and old, as the surfers who taught them to surf.

We can highly recommend Surf Camp SA. Our kids, aged 8 and 12, came to Cody and the team with zero surfing experience and have both left with their own boards after a fabulous time. If you are wondering should you book up - just do it - you won't regret it. The coaching is safe, professional and the guys worked tirelessly in all conditions. We will be back for another week of coaching in five months time and can't wait!!! Thanks to Cody, Connor and Dylan.

Best surf learner experience we could imagine! It is a mystery why this clean gentle and beautiful surf spot is still so undiscovered.
Thanks Cody, thanks Dylan for making our surf experience so much fun and helping us with all your advise, tips and tricks and knowledge of the local conditions!
If you want to learn to surf in South Africa, pick Cape St Francis above over crowded Jeffrey's.
Cody, see you in Amsterdam. Let us know when you are heading our way!
Cheers guys!
