What skills will I gain from the course?

You'll learn how to safely and professionally host a sauna shower, including the use of essential oils, towel techniques and how to create a unique shower experience. After the course, you will receive a certificate as proof of your new knowledge.

Can I use my certificate professionally?

Yes! The certificate documents your skills and can be an advantage if you want to work as a shower master in wellness centres, swimming pools or saunas.

What should I bring?

You need to bring two towels, swimwear, flip-flops, street clothes (shorts and t-shirt/running shirt), a water bottle and either a smartphone, tablet or notepad.

Best Location for Sauna ♥️
Var der for første gang i går, og det var over alle forventninger!
Rigtig god stemning og virkelig dejlig og godt sammensat gus, perfekt afslutning på weekenden i Århus.
Sauna Gus hos Surf Agency var en succes! Både Emil og Michael gjorde det rigtig godt med kombination af lav, middel, høj varme og gode dufte. Der var en god introduktion til hvad der skulle ske fra dem begge.

Der var mega nice musik, som
passede til stemningen. Omgivelserne og faciliteterne var gode med bad, omklædningsrum og en hyggelig lille oase udenfor med vildmarksbad og sauna. Alt i alt en rigtig god oplevelse - jeg må gøre det til en fast del af en uge, at “gå til sauna gus”!🔥😉KÆMPE KÆMPE anbefaling til Surf Agency🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wow en omgang! Det var fedt, og faciliteterne var i top. Michael, du var en god gusmester.
Michael gjorde et fantastisk arbejde, klasse oplevelse!
Michael var klasse!
Var forbi Surf Agency med en gymnasieklasse til saunagus og kolde bade. En fantastisk oplevelse i rigtig godt selskab med Michael og Finja. 5 stjerne herfra. Kommer helt sikkert igen.
Utrolig dejlig sted. Vi har besøgt vildmarksbadet og saunaen to gange nu. Rigtig sød vært. Tænker det bliver en fast årlig begivenhed at samle veninderne og besøge jer.
Mega fedt sted, mega god saunagus, mega gode gusmestre - særligt Marius Svinth!!!
Fantastisk sted og service. Man bliver taget godt imod, stemningen er rigtig god, og det er en hyggelig og afslappende måde at bruge nogle timer med vildmarksbad og sauna.
Suveræn oplevelse!
Vi fik en grundig introduktion og vores instruktør var sød ☺️
The best atmosphere and the nicest people. Surf Agecny is an oasis in Aarhus, which is a surf community with passionate people. I love going there whenever I have the opportunity.
We had a great experience with Surf Agency. While enjoying a beer at Hantwerk, we got chatting to Michael, who was in charge of the saunagus. He invited us to join and it ended up being a really good experience - both with saunagus and cold water afterwards.
I had given my wife an introductory SUP course as a gift. We were greeted by a smiling and welcoming Michael. Owner and founder of Surf Agency. The wife got a fantastic SUP course and now I dare to send her out on the water alone without the risk of her drifting out to sea. She was really happy with the lessons she received. Aarhus harbour is also a great experience in itself.
We had a great experience at our SUP event with you! We had a total of 16 participants and there was a great variety of activities, including technique training, surfer flips, water polo and fun relays on the water. It was both challenging and entertaining, and the activities suited our group very well, with both beginners and more experienced participants.

The instructors were really skilful and attentive. They were good at spotting if someone was unsure and provided relevant technique tips or a helping hand if you needed it. This created a safe and comfortable atmosphere on the water. We also appreciated that they took photos along the way, so we have good memories of the day.

After the activities, we cosy up in front of your premises with a beer/soda and talked about the day's experiences. Everyone said it had been a super fun and cosy afternoon, and it seemed like everyone had a great time - regardless of experience.

Thank you so much for a successful experience - we will gladly recommend SURF Agency to others and will gladly return another time!
Mega cosy day on the water, and really good instruction from Michael. Highly recommended
Great treatment and delicious experience
Great place, great service and fair price 🥳
Best team building activity! 🏄🏼
Insanely good service, Michael was an absolutely brilliant pouring master. Great atmosphere from start to finish. We had such a lovely evening. We will be back again!
Great relaxing experience that is highly recommended ❤️
Cosy little gem of a sauna place. Had my first time with them and felt welcomed and held my hand throughout the whole section. You can tell that the owners are passionate about the place
From the first meeting with Michael, the atmosphere is set with a calm, positivism and professionalism. Excellent saunagus with a twist, in terms of different scents and music.

Very good bathing conditions and catering during your stay.
😌
Super nice urban spa/wellness environment downtown Aarhus. We had a fantastic experience. Thank you very much!
The staff are eminently helpful and welcoming!
Fantastic and luxurious holiday experience at Club Surf Agency🚿🔥🔥🙏🏻
As always great service and hot showers and saunas! We will be back next year.
Had booked sauna gus with the family - Finja was a wonderful gus master with lovely oils and delicious music. Super experience... The only minus was that there was only a small tub in use with room for 2 people at a time - and on the team we were 8 people - so a little "waiting time" occurred.
Really good service and great atmosphere! Clear recommendation!
A really good experience and great service by Michael, who was our lifeguard and did everything to make us feel comfortable, got us drinks, made sure the water temperature was just right for us. Highly recommended. We had booked private intimate 2 persons
We were alone on site and had a fantastic evening. Emily who was our hostess did a fantastic job in creating a great setting for a cosy evening with high spirits.
Good cosy surroundings and conditions. Nice with space in the sauna - go gus
I have booked Surf Agency on several occasions and highly recommend a trip there. Michael and Finja make the place super cosy and the service is top notch.
Great evening with the nicest staff!
Held my 30th birthday at Surf Agency, with SUP, sauna/waterpark and hire of their venue - fantastic day! The staff are so nice and everything is well organised and cosy! All praise from here 🙂
The guys and I visit this perfect little oasis in Aarhus about once a year. Always world-class service and delicious beers from Hantwerk - the perfect combination.
Response from the owner:🙏🩵 Thank you Nicolai 🙏
Great experience at the bachelorette party 🙏🏽🥳

Thank you for a fantastic team event. Everyone on the team had a great day, now with a backpack full of wonderful experiences together as a team.

Thank you for the 2 lovely employees who were with us on the water, they had planned the day just the way we wanted it. 👌
Amazing instructor ☺️

Great place with happy and helpful staff, you won't regret it if you visit Surf Agency🤙🏼
Super cool experience to be on a SUP trip followed by a hot tub and sauna. Really nice instructors who you can tell are really passionate about the good experience. A big recommendation from here!
Fantastic place with great gear and skilled instructors. We were/are beginners and booked a board rental with quick instruction and had a great morning on the water. We hope to be back soon!
Fantastic place must definitely go there again😍😍😍
Went with my wife on a crash course + board hire.
It was a great experience and the staff were very experienced. The short course was enough to get started.
It was really good to sail along Risskov and relax a bit. However, we both felt some new muscles in our arms when we got home.
Highly recommended
Yes, I would like to recommend Surf Agency.
I've been on an intro course with a competent and skilled instructor. It was great fun and got everyone involved
Great place, highly skilled instructors, relaxed and hartfull atmosphere, great gear in a wonderful location that offers great possibilities for training, slow paddling and racing. Thumbs up ♥️👍
Julie and I had the best day with instructor Anne 😍 She was thorough, patient and fun to be with! Thanks for a great and educational course 👏🤗
Wonderful afternoon/evening in connection with a stag party. Sweet and helpful guides. Perfect activity!!!
My daughter and I had the most wonderful day on the water, even though it was a bit windy🙈. Big thanks to Martin for teaching us how to stand on sup. It was so cool and we would love to come again😊
The whole family went out and tried it for the first time! Our girls, aged 7 and 9, are totally hooked on it now! Thank you so much for showing us how cool stand up paddle is !!!! Big kudos to Michael for really getting the kids involved in the exercises! 🤟🏼👍🏼😀
Truly one of the most beautiful oases in Aarhus! Thanks for buckets of great experiences Surf Agency 🙏🏄‍♀️🤙
A lovely place 🧡 cosiness and relaxation
Great fun😄😄😄🤙🏻 lovely afternoon with the fitness club
We had booked a family-owned boat with an instructor. It was a fantastic trip on the water with challenges for both young and old. Highly recommended.
My colleagues and I from Sympa A/S have been to Surf Agency twice within a month and it has been great fun both times. It won't be the last time we hit the harbour with them!
Both times we experienced dedicated trainers who challenged us with great exercises and laughed with and at us while we splashed around in the water;-)
Very big recommendations from here and happy summer to jer☀️
Good atmosphere, nice people who are good at helping. Have been there several times and bought vouchers for SUB so will definitely come again 😄🏄‍♀️
