These lessons are designed for people who already feel confident paddling out back in waves over 2ft and can catch unbroken waves with a solid pop-up. The coaching focuses on refining existing skills, improving board control, and introducing more advanced manoeuvres like linking turns and generating speed. Unlike beginner lessons, these sessions go beyond standing up on white water waves. You’ll be coached on techniques such as turtle rolls and duck dives, positioning in the line-up, and reading surf conditions so you can surf bigger and cleaner waves with confidence. ### How long does each surf lesson last? Each session is 2 hours long, which allows enough time for a proper warm-up, a short beach theory section, and plenty of practice time in the water. Lessons are carefully structured to balance instruction with hands-on surfing experience. Two hours also means you won’t become too tired to concentrate or perform well, which can happen with much longer sessions. The format keeps you engaged, focused, and able to make steady progress throughout the lesson. ### What equipment is included in the lesson? All the essential surf equipment is included at no extra cost. This covers a surfboard appropriate for your ability level, along with a high-quality Quiksilver or Roxy wetsuit and any additional accessories like boots or gloves if needed. The surfboards provided come in a range of sizes and shapes, so your instructor will match you with one that suits your height, weight, and ability. Having the right equipment makes a big difference when working on intermediate-level techniques. ### How big are the groups for these lessons? Group sizes are kept small with a maximum of 5 participants per instructor. This ensures that everyone receives plenty of personal attention and feedback throughout the session. Smaller groups also make it easier to adapt the lesson to each participant’s progress, whether you’re focusing on cutbacks, wave selection, or improving paddling technique. The limited numbers help keep the sessions supportive and effective. ### What skills will I be learning in these lessons? The coaching focuses on helping you progress to the next level of surfing. You’ll work on turtle rolls or duck dives to get past breaking waves, improve your positioning in the line-up, and refine your pop-up into a stronger functional stance. You’ll also practise turning, linking manoeuvres, cutbacks, and generating speed. A key part of the session includes understanding surf etiquette and wave priority so you can confidently surf in busier line-ups. ### Do I need to bring anything with me? All of your surfing equipment is provided, but you’ll need to bring a towel, swimwear to wear under the wetsuit, and some warm clothing for afterwards. Sunscreen and a bottle of water are also recommended, especially on hot days. If you want a snack or hot drink after your session, it’s worth bringing a little extra cash, as there are cafés and shops nearby. The centre provides secure lockers, so you can store your belongings safely while you surf. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot-2025-08-20-133904-1.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
