The minimum age for group surf lessons is 8 years old. However, for private lessons, we can accommodate participants from 5 years old. Please note that if your child is under 8 years old and you wish to book them for a group lesson, they must be accompanied by a responsible adult in the water throughout the entire session. This ensures safety and comfort for younger surfers. ### How long does the surf lesson last? Each surf lesson lasts 2 hours. This allows plenty of time for you to get into the rhythm of surfing, receive personalised feedback from your instructor, and practice your skills in the water. After the lesson, you can continue practising with your surf equipment for an additional hour, free of charge. This extra time is perfect for working on your technique independently or enjoying the waves on your own. ### What equipment is provided during the lesson? We provide all the necessary equipment for your surf lesson, including a wetsuit, rash vest, and surfboard. Depending on the season and water temperature, we also provide boots to ensure your comfort and warmth. The equipment is of the highest quality, maintained regularly to ensure it is in excellent condition. We carefully select the brands we work with to ensure sustainability and durability. ### Do I need to bring anything with me? All the surf equipment you’ll need is provided as part of the lesson. However, it’s a good idea to bring a towel, a change of clothes, and sunscreen to protect your skin. If you own your own surfboard and wetsuit, you’re welcome to bring them along, but it’s not necessary. We also recommend packing some snacks or water to stay hydrated after the lesson. ### What happens if the weather or surf conditions are not suitable? If the weather or surf conditions aren’t suitable for your lesson, we may offer an alternative surf spot nearby that has better conditions for your session. Our priority is your safety and enjoyment, and we will ensure that your lesson is still rewarding, even if we need to adjust the location. Your instructor will assess the conditions and let you know if a change is necessary. ### Is there a place to change and store my belongings? Yes, we provide private changing rooms, lockers, and toilets to ensure you have a comfortable and secure place to change before and after your surf lesson. The changing rooms are spacious and private, giving you the space to get ready at your own pace. Lockers are available for you to store any personal belongings securely during the lesson. ### Do you offer lessons specifically for younger children under 8? Yes, we offer specially tailored Young Gun sessions designed exclusively for children under 8 years old. These sessions are always run as private lessons with a maximum of 1–2 participan ts, allowing our instructors to focus entirely on your child’s comfort, safety, and early surf development. We use smaller boards, stay close to shore, and break the session into short, engaging segments to keep it fun and manageable.
