Learn to Surf in Montreal
Have you always wanted to learn to surf? With Imagine, this is no longer a dream. Join us, and we'll take you out and teach you to surf.
Imagine is the worlds first, and largest river surfing surf school. The techniques used for teaching river surfing were developed by Imagine's founder Corran Addison, and were based on his experience as an Olympic whitewater kayaker, combined with over 2 decades ocean and river surfing experience. Corran was the first person to surf Montréal’s river waves, and has surfed river and ocean waves on every continent in the world.
The instructional DVD, River Surfing 101, produced in conjunction with the Imagine surf school, is the standard used internationally for teaching river surfing today.
Why take a class from Imagine Surf School in Montreal?
* Unlike other surf schools, the goal at Imagine is both to show you a fun time out on the waves, and as importantly, actually to teach you to surf. Our students have a success rate that is more than 3 times higher than the other surf schools.
* Our instructors are simply the best. They are certified, and undergo strict and intensive surf instruction training. As the oldest surf school in Montreal, our instructors are also the most experienced. You’re in good hands!
* We teach using equipment designed specifically for easy learning on river waves (instead of simply using boards designed for the different sport of ocean surfing). This makes learning to surf on the river waves easier and far less frustrating.
* We have a return rate (students who return after the class to become local surfers) of almost 90% - When you take a class with us, you learn to surf!
Who can surf?
Anyone can surf, regardless of age. Our specialty is teaching people who have no surfing experience at all... and not just taking you out for a good time, but actually getting you surfing. The only pre-requisite is that you be comfortable in water, and can swim a few swimming pool lengths easily.
River Surfing is different enough from ocean surfing to where ocean surfing intermediates should take the beginner river surfing class. Everything from swimming in currents and rapids, lining up for the wave, moving about the wave and the specific skills of river wave surfing is different enough to where only advanced ocean surfers are effectively able to learn on their own without major frustration.
