Wahooo!, a leading indoor/outdoor waterpark in Bahrain, has launched Middle East’s first training academy which will teach enthusiasts how to ride a wave.

Wahoo!’s Surf School will begin lessons on March 20.

The world champion flow riding team was flown in from South Africa for the launch and these highly qualified surfers coached all of Wahooo!’s trainers who will impart surf lessons at the academy, said a statement.

Wahooo! now specialises in teaching all levels of surfing from first timers to advanced surfers; and offers private or group surf lessons, the statement added. Wahooo! instructors are experienced surfers, trained in first-aid and CPR, and offer expertise on all aspects of surfing, it said.

At the Wahooo! Surf School, students will learn basic surfing fundamentals and master the water wave riding skills through a five week programme.

The seven and a half hours of training will include ways to ride the flowrider – different body boarding techniques, executing 360 degree spins, wave rolls and other tricks. – TradeArabia News Service
