It is possible to book classes directly on this website and paying via debit/credit card or after contacting us and paying via bank transfer or in person at NALU’s premises, in cash or card. Either ways, after the purchase, you need to be in contact with us via email, phone or in person to confirm the precise dates of your holiday and plan the times of the classes. Due to the nature of surfing as a sport that is influenced by natural conditions, the definitive surf timetable is decided by the Head Coach between 48/24h prior the class. If the Client doesn’t communicate to us timely, their reservation remains on hold until we receive notifications from them. In order to complete the booking process, the Client will be asked to pay the full amount of the price of the services and complete the intake form (surf level assessment) that will come with the receipt. In some cases, e.g. if the services are purchased 3 or more months in advance from the Client’s arrival date, we might give the option to book classes by paying a deposit only. The deposit is calculated as either the 20% of the class(es) booked or as the 50%, depending on the service. This assessment is done at our sole discretion. Please note that for ANY booking, 20% of the total will ALWAYS be retained as a flat rate booking fee, and it is not refundable, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. For bookings made by paying the deposit only, the balance is due within 24h from the class or the first class for packs/bundles. In the case of purchasing a pack (bundle of classes) the balance must be paid in full by the day of the first class.
