Classes To Choose From
Beginners Class
Beginner classes will focus on all the important fundamentals you should know before hitting the water by yourself eg beach safety, body positioning, basic pop up techniques, catching waves in the white water and more.
After taking a few classes we highly recommend students get some practise in using our rentals.
Intermediate Class
Intermediate classes will focus on riding unbroken waves, how to get through the waves properly, correct positioning to catch unbroken waves, how to turn and ride across the wave, advance pop up techniques and much more!
These classes are suitable for students who have taken at least 3-4 beginner classes, had some practise by them selves and are feeling confident with their pop up in white water.

Need some individual help during the classes?
If you need some individual help during our group classes, don't hesitate to chat with just one of the team at the start of the lesson about your current surfing experience and what you feel you need help with. We will then give you some individual help during the class to fine tune your surfing.
About Kids
The group lessons are a mixed class of adults and kids so you can surf with your kids! All kids are provided with the right surfboard and wetsuit to get them having the most fun and learning quicker.
Important: For less experienced kids or kids younger than 11 we require the parent to supervise them at knee height in the water at all times during the class.
