Sport doesn’t come cooler than surfing. Within 1 day, incentive event attendees can be walking on water.

There isn’t anything to match its allure - surfing represents freedom, hedonism, and daring on a unique scale. It is the one sporting skill that should be hard-wired into DNA at birth. While elite surfing takes a lifetime of dedication to master, incentive event participants can experience the sensation of walking water on their first day in the surf.

Surfing classes allow participants to discover a new world while walking (taller) around the office. The initial progression curve is steep. Those learning to surf at an event can experience the unrivalled thrill of skimming over the water on day 1. It is game-changing.

Surfing on an incentive event

Where there is a body of water that is wind-affected, there is the possibility of surf. The best and most consistent surf, however, is found on the Atlantic coast, where distant storms pulse their energy toward shorelines over huge distances. For beginner surfers, there is very often a surfable wave on this coast. Bigger surf can prevent beginner lessons, while flat water usually means stand-up paddling sessions.

Instructors will take clients through an introduction session on the beach, covering equipment basics, safety, and elementary techniques. Then, surf students head into the white water in search of waves. Instructors will be on hand to line up boards and encourage participants - persistence is key. A GoPro should be somewhere amongst the team to capture those hero shots.

Other incentive event activities

Surfing is among the most revered sports, but many alternative incentive event activities exist. Sailing regattas, canyoning, white-water rafting, and land yachting are all action sports. Culture, bike and food tours offer a slower pace.

Alternative to surfing - stand-up paddling

Take an inflatable surfboard and a paddle and head out onto rivers, lakes and the ocean. Stand-up paddling is easy to pick and great fun. The ultimate aim is to surf the ocean waves on the board.
