Water Sports
Learn to SUP and Surf at Topsea Surfing Center
Established in 1957 by a lifeguard nicknamed Topsea, this surfing center is known as the first of its kind in Israel, and carries the name of its founder. Topsea offers surf and SUP lessons and rentals for all ages (ability to swim is a must). The center’s small, cozy office provides a homey, personal touch for customers.
Topsea operate all year-long, seven days a week from 8am to sunset, but they won’t send people out into the choppy seas so call ahead to see if the water is calm enough. Beginners can take advantage of Gordon Beach, which has a soft, sandy bottom and a calm area for practicing.
Topsea is located in an exclusive location accessed only from the famous three-story steps that start at Gordon beach and end at Kikar Atarim. If you are walking from your hotel in Tel Aviv, which is just a 15 minute walk north along the boardwalk, you will need to walk up just two flights of stairs from the beach and walk around the corner to the left.
We are just 10 minutes north of the surf club and 15 minutes south of the Marina and Topsea–all on foot!
