This surf school believes that your lesson starts from the moment you arrive! After a very warm welcome you can expect their team to check-in with your family, calm any nerves, understand what you're looking for from your lesson that day, and encourage the right mindset for the session ahead.
After this, you’ll be kitted out in wetsuits, paired up with boards, and head to the beach. Before heading into the water, there’s a short beach-based introduction covering safety, ocean awareness, a warm-up, and learning surf techniques relevant to your individual experience/skill level.
Moving to the ocean you'll begin putting everything you learnt on the beach into practice with plenty of 1-on-1 coaching through this surf school’s unique “Focus Sessions” teaching method. “Focus Sessions” involve instructors spending 2-3 wave blocks with each participant, working with them on a particular skill or problem, which inevitably leads to a faster rate of progression.
Expect detailed feedback, lots of encouragement and a fair bit of laughter along the way! Plus, you’ll enjoy 10% off coffees, hot chocolates, pastries, and ice cream on the day of your lesson.
