About this tour

Master the fundamentals of surfing on Sydney's renowned breaks during this eight-hour coastal adventure. Based 45 minutes south of the city, you'll spend two sessions in the water with certified instructors who'll guide you through paddling, pop-ups, and reading waves. The day includes full kit—board, wetsuit, and transport by 4WD across the sand—plus a beachside meal to refuel between lessons.

Highlights

  • Two structured surf coaching sessions with qualified instructors
  • All gear provided: surfboard, wetsuit, beach transport
  • BBQ or picnic lunch included with the package
  • Coastal location 45 minutes south of Sydney CBD
  • Learn wave selection and basic technique from scratch
  • 8-hour immersion in a working beach environment

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.
