MEET OUR FANTASTIC SURF TEAM

We can't wait to welcome you to our surf courses and give you the best experience on the water!

Ole Hasholt & Rasmus Øgelund

Founders & Surf Instructors
Ole Hasholt & Rasmus Øgelund

Ole and Rasmus are founders of Copenhagen Surf School – we grew up on the small island Thurø just South of Funen, where Ole's uncle Per taught us how to windsurf just over 16 years ago. That's how we got bitten by the rare and incurable windsurf bacille! Since then we have both won several Danish championships in the windsurf discipline Freestyle, competed in the PWA World Windsurfing Tour, and worked as surf instructors at surf schools, surf camps and surf clubs around Europe. Thus, windsurfing has taken us far and wide and has become the passion of our lives: Together we have traveled the world in search of the best waves and strongest storms, have participated in the making of Thurø Windsurfing Club, and in 2016 founded Copenhagen Surf School in Amager Strandpark. Our goal was to start a highly professional surf school with warm and welcoming vibes in the middle of Copenhagen.

At Copenhagen Surf School you become part of our surf family while also being taught by the absolute best instructors – and on the market's latest and best equipment, of course!
Today, we are proud to have helped more than 6,000 new surfers out on the water – and we hope you'll be next! 😉
