What to expect

Two hours, in the water and on land

Every lesson starts on the sand with the safety briefing: rips, currents, waves and how to stay out of trouble. Then warm ups, which may include skating, yoga or surf gym, before we work on paddling and the pop up.

Once you have the fundamentals we get in the water with you and coach wave by wave, watching your posture and your progress. Videos of lessons are available so the learning carries on after you are out of the water.
