Surf taster course on Sylt

Instead of just watching from the beach, you’ll slip into a snug wetsuit and glide across the North Sea. Over roughly two hours, the gentle sandbanks off Wenningstedt become a natural playground.A licensed coach breaks everything into simple steps: lying on the board, paddling smoothly, springing to your feet. Knee- to chest-high waves roll over a flat seabed, so even complete newcomers feel safe. Cheerful hints are given at arm’s length, turning first splashes into real rides within minutes.Breathers on the shore leave time to swap smiles, snap a few photos and watch the gulls dance in the wind. The pace stays relaxed; progress follows its own rhythm.After the final wave, rinse off and head up the dune path with salty hair, pleasantly tired muscles and a shared story that will outlast any souvenir.
