About lessons

If you have any inquiries or questions, please check the following information and

Please feel free to contact us.

Please tell me what to prepare.

Please bring beach sandals, swimsuits, sunscreen and towels.

You will be traveling by car, so if necessary, you may want to bring motion sickness medication.

Also, don't forget to stay hydrated.

We also have ponchos and towels available for rental, so please contact us!

Is there a shuttle service?

We will meet at the location, but we can also arrange for lessons with transportation included, so please contact us for details.

Please tell me what time of year is best to wear a wetsuit.

As a guideline,

From December to April, full suit semi-dry

April to June Full Suit Seagull

July to September Spring Swimsuit

October to December Seagull Full Suit

However, the air and water temperatures may vary from year to year depending on the timing, so if you would like more information, please contact us before the school.

Is the event cancelled due to rain?

In case of rain, the lesson will be held. In case of thunder, the lesson may be canceled. (If thunder occurs during the lesson, the lesson will be canceled.)

In addition, the tour may be canceled due to strong winds or high waves.

In particular, if the event is cancelled due to a typhoon or other reason, we may contact you on the day or the day before.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but as this is an activity in nature, we can only accept reservations from those who are willing to accept cancellations.

Could you tell me about insurance?

All of our schools are insured in case of injury. We send the information from the reservation system to the insurance company for all students who attend our school. For more information, please contact us here .

Is there a place to change clothes?

Some of the SUP lessons have changing facilities. Beginner lessons can change in the toilets.

We have bath towels and ponchos for changing, so please let us know if you would like to use them.

*Numbers are limited, so if you would like to use one, please contact us here .

After your activities, you can rest assured that we will provide you with showers, water tanks, and hot water.

Kengoria's concept is to have you experience surfing in a place with good waves, so we recommend that you wear surfer style clothing (such as a poncho).

Do you sell equipment?

We are a surfing, SUP and FOIL specialty store, so we sell everything. We also sell wetsuits.

For more information, please contact us here .

Are there any jellyfish?

Yes. In the summer, they can start appearing around July. If you are worried, we recommend wearing long sleeves such as a rash guard.

There are creams to protect against jellyfish, but we don't recommend them as they can make the board more slippery.

Can I wear glasses?

Even if you wear glasses bands or other accessories during the experience, there is no guarantee in case they are lost.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Is it okay if I can't swim?

It's always better to be able to swim, but beginners should take lessons in shallow water where they can reach the bottom. As you improve your surfing skills, you should also aim to improve your swimming skills. With SUPs and other equipment, you'll be fine as you'll be wearing a life jacket, but you should make sure to take lessons from an instructor.

Is there localism ?

Many surf spots have consistent waves all year round, so there is little competition for waves. It depends on the spot, but we think Miyazaki is a friendly place.

Can you tell me about your lesson plan?

For inexperienced and beginners, we offer a "5-time pack for going into the sea alone," and for experienced people, we offer a "3-time pack/5-time pack for overcoming your weaknesses." The 3-time pack is 24,750 yen, and the 5-time pack is 33,000 yen (campaign price).

Does a 5-pack mean 5 days of lessons?

We recommend one lesson per day for five consecutive days, but you can also split your stay into two or three days depending on your schedule.

Can I take multiple lessons in one day?

Yes, you can take 2-3 lessons per day, but we recommend that you reserve your slots in advance.

If 5 lessons are not enough, can I take additional lessons?

Additional lessons can be booked for ¥8,800 each, ¥24,750 for three lessons, or ¥33,000 for five lessons.

Is there an expiration date for the 3 and 5 surf school packages?

Yes, the pack is valid for one year from the first lesson. You can take all the lessons during your stay or split them into several lessons within the period.

Where is the meeting place?

Generally, you will meet at the location and we will email you the location.

For beginners and intermediate, the place to surf is Aoshima. For SUP, it is Sun Beach Hitotsuba. For SUP surfing, the place will be different.

Please note that the schedule may change depending on the wave conditions on the day.

If you would like to use a lesson with transportation, please contact us.

Please tell me what to bring.

Please bring a swimming costume and a towel. We can provide wetsuits and rash guards for rental. Valuables must be managed by yourself, but you can leave them with the instructor. There is a mobile trailer for resting and a simple shower at the meeting point.

Where is the surf school meeting point?

The meeting point for lessons is either Aoshima or Kizakihama. Our shop is located in the city, so we do not use it as a meeting point for lessons.

The following locations are commonly used as meeting places:

Aoshima Free Parking (Aoshima Seaside Park) *Meet in front of the toilet

In front of Kizakihama Surfing Center

Kizakihama, in front of the Kaeda toilet

My lesson date is approaching. Can I confirm the meeting place and time on the day?

We will inform you of the meeting place and time on LINE the day before, so please check that. The meeting place may change, so please be sure to check.

What should I do if I am going to be late on the day of the lesson?

If you are going to be late, please contact us as soon as possible. We will inform the instructor and accommodate your request, but please note that we may not be able to extend your time if there is another booking.

Can I use the board to practice on my own after the lesson?

Generally, you will be asked to return the board after the lesson, but you can continue to rent it for one day (¥3,300). However, depending on the next lesson schedule, we may not be able to lend you the board.
