What to expect
Your instructor will meet you at your accommodation and drive you to whichever beach offers the best conditions that day. The session starts with land-based fundamentals: stance, paddle technique, and safety. Then you'll enter the water together, practising pop-ups on smaller waves before tackling larger sets. Expect a mix of active surfing and brief breaks for feedback. The pace is entirely yours—your instructor adjusts teaching to match your confidence and progress. By the end, you'll have a solid grasp of positioning and the mechanics of catching waves.
Good to know
Lessons run subject to weather, swell, and availability—book early. Bring sunscreen, a towel, and a change of clothes. The lesson isn't suitable if you're pregnant. Nearby public transport is available if you need alternatives.
