How to Get There

Frequently Asked Questions

You are a beginner surfer if:

  • You've never surfed before.
  • Only surfed a handful of times.
  • You surf exclusively in the whitewater.
  • Struggle to get to your feet consistently.
  • Need assistance to master the basics: Paddling, Popping to your feet, etc.

We follow our unique curriculum which has been designed for the beginner in mind. 

We start things off with the absolute basics, incrementally building on that knowledge step by step as we go.

With each step building on the last, by the end of the weekend you'll have all the skills you need to surf successfully, with a solid foundation from which to improve. 

Skills you'll have with you for life.

Over the weekend you'll learn all the vital skills and techniques to:

  • How to select and catch waves unassisted in the white water.
  • How to stall and accelerate the board.
  • Master the 'Aussie Pop Up' method.
  • The proper stance which will allow you to perform turns and progress onto catching unbroken waves.
  • Turning left and right in the white water.
  • Learn the four techniques to navigate through the waves.
  • How to paddle with more propulsion and less resistance. 
  • Understand etiquette and know how to confidently and safely deal with any situation which may present itself to you.
  • And much more.

If you've got your own gear, by all means bring that along, or if you'd rather use ours we have a tonne of wetsuits and surfboards you can use free of charge for the duration of the weekend. 

We'd love to say we can guarantee perfect waves every weekend, however the truth is, that's not possible. 

We're at the whim of mother nature, and we'll embrace it in all its forms. 

Furthermore, the way the content is structured - with the theory & video analysis - the quality of the waves effects us little in the learning process. 

We make the most of whatever conditions we have on offer. 

Come wind, rain, hail or shine, we're ready to go. 

Surfing is a sport that embraces all the elements, and we do too.

If conditions are deemed too flat to run the weekend course we will be forced to postpone the event. 

We'll make this call no later than 24 hours prior to the course start date. 

Booked students will be allocated spaces in a future course date to complete the program.

Because of this, we recommend booking accommodation with a flexible cancellation policy just in case.
