Scheveningen's coolest surf crew
Young Rippers is more than just a training; it's a community. During the training sessions, we not only work on technique and performance in the water but also on team spirit, self-confidence, and friendships. Every session is focused on progress and, of course, on fun.
We assess the conditions and adjust the training accordingly. Are the waves flat? Then we grab the surfskates in the pool or go paddleboarding. Is the swell on? Then we push each other to catch that one big wave.
Surf training at your own level
The program is accessible to everyone under 18 years old with a swimming diploma. For surfing, you will be divided by level: beginners, intermediate, and advanced. This way, everyone can start at their own level and progress.
Send an email to the surf school and discuss it with our crew.
What does a training session look like?
During the training sessions, we not only work on technique and performance in the water, but also on team spirit, self-confidence, and friendships. Each session focuses on progress and, of course, fun.
On days without waves, we continue training with surfskate, surf theory, video analysis, or targeted strength and paddle training. Everything to make each surfer physically and mentally stronger for the next session in the sea.

Winter Enthusiasts &
Real Young Rippers don't let a little cold stop them. In the winter months, we continue training in our thick 5/4 wetsuits with boots, gloves, and caps. A warm shower afterward and a hot chocolate by the fireplace are, of course, part of the experience!
Send an email to the surf school and discuss it with our crew. In addition, we also offer courses for beginners and intermediate surfers, so that everyone can join and grow at their own level.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a swimming certificate mandatory to participate in the surf lesson/camps?
Yes, if your child wants to participate in the surf camp, they must have a swimming certificate A (or a similar foreign certificate).
Where are you located and where can I park?
Hart Beach Surfschool is located on Scheveningen beach, on the north side of the pier at the southern end of the Boulevard. Address: Strandweg 3B, 2586 JK Scheveningen.
There is a Q-Park to be found on Strandweg.
On sunny days and weekends, it can be busy. For an up-to-date overview of parking options, we refer you to The Hague's parking information.
What if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. Every Sunday before the camp starts, we make an assessment and plan based on the weather. In case of bad weather, we opt for alternative activities, such as a visit to a museum or an indoor skate park.
What if there are no waves?
If there are no waves, we organise other fun water activities such as stand-up paddleboarding or skimboarding. We also do active beach activities such as beach games and other games.
Are the supervisors and surf instructors experienced enough?
The surf camps are led by an experienced camp leader, together with a team of enthusiastic supervisors and certified surf instructors. All instructors hold a first aid and lifeguard diploma. We work with small groups, so there is always sufficient supervision in the water. In addition, there is extra supervision on the beach for activities, photos, and rest breaks. This ensures there is always sufficient supervision, both in the water and on the beach.
What should my child bring?
Swimwear, a towel, an extra T-shirt, a warm jumper, socks, closed shoes (for skateboarding), long trousers, and your own water bottle. And a big smile, of course!
Do you have showers and changing rooms?
We have changing rooms with showers and lockers. These are primarily intended for guests of the surf school and the restaurant. Do you have your own surf equipment? Then enjoy a snack or drink at our restaurant – that way you'll also be one of our guests! 😊
