Surf School

SANTO DOMINGO SURF SCHOOL

GENERAL INFORMATION

Surfing, more than a sport or fad, is a way of life. Its popularity is widespread in countless countries, including the USA and Australia, and has gradually extended into Chile. House - Santa Pizza decided to contribute to this growth, by creating a surf school in Santo Domingo, an hour away from Santiago, to motivate and inspire new generations to get to know this way of life.

Closely connected with looking after our environment, what we teach at the Wave House School helps our students relate to the physical and technical aspects of surfing, in addition to promoting a genuine love for waves and the ocean.

Whether surfing, bodyboarding or flowboarding, the Wave House School focuses on safety considerations. Our experienced instructors have the training necessary to deal with emergencies or unforeseen situations that may arise.
