What to expect

You'll start on the sand learning basics—pop-ups, positioning, how the board moves beneath you—before paddling out. The instructors stay close, guiding you into waves and correcting your technique in real time. Most people catch and ride at least a few waves, even on their first go. Expect to get thoroughly wet and tired in the best way. The ocean here is forgiving for learners, and the instructors know which banks work best at different tides and swell directions.

Good to know

Confirm your exact pickup time and location 2–3 days before you go—lesson times shift with weather, swell, and tides. Bring a towel and change of clothes. Lunch isn't included. The beach is accessible via public transport if you'd rather not use the provided pickup.
