What to expect
You'll start with on-sand instruction covering stance, paddle mechanics, and safety before entering the water. Two separate sessions allow you to build confidence—expect hands-on coaching in the shallows, then graduated attempts at catching and riding waves. A 4WD ferries you across the beach between spots, and lunch breaks the day into manageable chunks. The pace suits complete beginners; instructors adjust to group ability. Water temperature varies seasonally, so your wetsuit matters. Bring sun cream and reapply often; the glare off sand and water is fierce.
