If you’ve always wanted to learn to surf but thought it had to be done somewhere suitably exotic think again. The borders are closed but Surf Hong Kong still has you covered.
Few sports captivate the imagination quite like surfing, and Hollywood has a lot to do with that. A series of iconic surf flicks, ranging from Morning of the Earth, and Thicker Than Water to the cinematically spectacular documentary Momentum and the more accessible Point Break. If you found yourself slurring Keanu Reeves’ lines into the bathroom mirror or sewing Bodhi’s words of wisdom into your conversations, maybe it’s time you took the leap into the world of surfing.
Sure, surfing breeds its own territorial tribalism and generates billions in merchandising, but it’s also a great upper body work out and remains an all-but-guaranteed way to thrill the lovelies under the summer sun. Enter Surf Hong Kong, which offers private surfing classes for everyone from newbies to past boarders looking to brush up their skill set.
Surf Hong Kong’s surf camp is based at Sai Wan in Tai Long Wan (Big Wave Bay) ensuring their students are always close to the city’s best breaks. Lessons cover everything from essential beach and surf safety, through to paddling techniques, how to handle a wipeout and various standing positions.
Classes can be customized for different ages and skill levels – making for a great summertime activity for some ultimate male bonding, and boards are even provided so you don’t have to look like a dope on the MTR until you’re ready to strut your stuff in the surf.
Time to find your breaking point.
