Surfside, the surf school at Ingu Beach, Yangyang

Yes. The Surfside group lesson (2–6 people, 60 minutes, ₩50,000 per person) is designed for first-time surfers and includes a surfboard, wetsuit, hot shower and free surfing after the lesson. Ingu Beach has shallow, gentle waves, which makes it a good place for a first lesson.

You can ask to join even without swimming experience. Lessons at Surfside are led by the owner, an ISA-certified coach and certified lifeguard who puts safety first. We check whether you can swim and the sea conditions on the day, then advise what you can take part in. Please tell us about your swimming experience before booking.
