Description

*Please arrive 15 minutes before the start time.* You'll check in at the surf shop 15 minutes before your lesson kicks off. Your expert instructor will set you up with a perfectly fitted wetsuit and a surfboard matched to your height and skill level. Once you're suited up, you'll head down to the beach with your group, ready to dive into the experience. The session starts on the sand with a safety briefing and essential techniques to get you started. Then, it’s time to hit the water! You’ll wade in waist-deep and catch your first small waves, getting a feel for the ocean. Once you’ve built some confidence, you’ll regroup on the beach for step-by-step guidance on how to pop up and ride your board. The rest of the lesson is all about putting it into practice. With your instructor by your side, offering individualised coaching, you’ll be catching waves and working toward standing up. By the end of the session, you’ll return to the shop, rinse off, and relive the stoke with your fellow surfers. Choose from a small-group 2-hour Surf Experience (perfect for first-time surfers!), a 3-Lesson Surf Course (designed to guide you through the beginner stages of surfing, with supporting online learning modules included), or a Private Lesson (one-on-one coaching tailored to help you progress, regardless of your skill level).
