I was at Haeundae beach this past weekend and saw several Koreans surfing there. I asked them if there is a surf school nearby or a place to rent boards. They said Songjung beach, north of Haeundae, has a school and rentals. They also mentioned a little place near Donbek subway station to rent boards. I'd like to have a lesson, so I'd like to check out Songjung.. but I can't find any information about it online. Since I live in Daegu it would be nice to book reservations in advance, or at least find out more about it before heading down again.

I also went to the Tourist Information building by Haeundae beach and they had no further info.

Anyone?

I was down in Jeju a few weeks ago and met with some dudes who surf regularly down there too.
