ACTIVITY DETAILS
Your surf lesson starts with a warm welcome from your instructor, who will ensure you're fitted with a wetsuit and ready to go. Just bring your swimming costume, towel, and beach footwear.
After a short walk to the beach, your coach will give an overview of the session, focusing on building confidence in the water so you can continue surfing beyond your lesson. You'll start with beach, surf, and board safety, followed by practising prone surfing (catching waves while lying on your board).
Next, you'll move on to learning the pop-up technique — our expert coaches will demonstrate and guide you through standing up on the board and riding waves back to shore. With plenty of time in the water, you'll put your skills into practice under the watchful eye of your instructor, ensuring you get the best tips and feedback.
✔️ Small group sizes allow for personalised coaching.
✔️ Progress at your own pace in a fun and supportive setting.
✔️ Designed for complete beginners or those looking to improve.
