Update Corona virus

– Last update: May 18th 15:00

Dear surf-minded people,

The world is currently fighting a pandemic; the corona-virus. First of all we want to say, from everybody from Surfana, that we hope you and your loved ones are healthy. Take extra care of each other in these strange times.

The Dutch government has announced measures to prevent the corona-virus from spreading. This means the following for Surfana:

  • Our surf school in Zandvoort is reopened for kids and adults from May 11th
    We are really happy to fully reopen our surf school from Monday May 11th. It’s also possible to rent surf equipment at our surfschool. For all our services we have a custom protocol due to the guidelines put out by our government.
    – Make sure you read these regulations before you come to our surf school.

  • Our surf camp & surf hostel in Bloemendaal is closed until the July 1st
    The roadmap presented by the Dutch government on May 6th to phase out the current covid-19 measures shows that campsites will be reopened from July 1st. We are very excited about the possibility to open our doors from July 1st!
  • Our summer camp for kids aged 8-11 in Bloemendaal can most likely take place
    Because it’s very likely that the sanitation on campsites will be reopened from July 1st, we assume we are able to organize this summer camp for the most part in ordinary fashion. There will be some adjustments in our protocol, for example to manage a safe delivery and collection of children by their parents in accordance with the covid-19 measures. We will let you know when we know more. We strive to communicate this no later than June 1st.
  • Our summer camps for teenagers aged 12-15 in Bloemendaal and Vlieland and for teenagers 15-17 on Vlieland can most likely take place
    Because it’s very likely that the sanitation on campsites will be reopened from July 1st, we assume we are able to organize these summer camps in Bloemendaal and Vlieland. It is still unclear which restrictions our government will impose for this age group, and for summer camps in general. Even if the 1,5m distance measure will remain, we believe we are able to organize these summer camps in a really fun way! We will let you know when we know more. We strive to communicate this no later than June 1st.

  • Toilets can be used very limited, so always go to the toilet at home. Our outdoor toilets will open again from June 1st.
  • Reservations can only be made online, and payment and signing must be completed immediately, so there is no physical contact between customers and our staff.
  • We wash all wetsuits in water after each use with bactericidal and virus-killing shampoo, this water is replaced after every lesson.
  • We have a limited capacity for surf lessons, so that our staff can always keep a distance of 1.5 meters from each other and from customers.
  • Adults must leave the surf school grounds immediately after dropping off their child. children help each other to put on wetsuits. In the most extreme case, the instructor will help. Parents are unfortunately not allowed to help their children with this.
  • There are limited parking options on the boulevard. Preferably come by bicycle if possible.
  • We have hand sanitizer in different places so that everyone can regularly disinfect their hands. Our staff also does this regularly.
