How far ahead do we need to book?

For a single lesson, a few days' notice is usually comfortable, and shorter notice is often possible — just ask. Larger family or friend groups want two to four weeks, especially in the busy fall and winter swell.

What time should we start?

The morning is the best window: the wind is light and the surface is smooth. Sessions run every day between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, so pick the slot that suits the rest of your day.

Can we just turn up on the beach?

Every lesson is confirmed in advance so an instructor is waiting for you with the right board. Send us your date and preferred window and we will send back the meeting time, the access point and parking.

Is one lesson enough for a first-timer?

One lesson is usually enough to stand on the whitewater and understand the beach, which is what most people are after. Two or three sessions is where surfers typically start paddling out to unbroken waves and turning the board.

What should we bring for the day?

Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and drinking water. The surfboard, rash guard and wetsuit are included, so there is nothing to hire before your lesson.
