Surf Lessons for Everyone
At our Surf School, we offer a variety of surf lesson options to suit your needs. Whether you’re catching your first wave or looking to take your skills to the next level, our one-to-one sessions provide personalised coaching tailored just for you.
We also run small group sessions, perfect for friends who want to learn together and share the fun of surfing. Grab your mates and enjoy a fun time in the big old blue!
For young surfers seeking consistent lessons, check out our After-School Program, designed for children aged 8 to 12 years and suitable for all skill levels. It’s a great way for kids to build confidence, improve technique, and enjoy the ocean in a supportive environment.
