A surfing lesson includes provision of a suitable surfboard, a wetsuit, tuition on surfing and water safety as well as third party insurance for the duration of the course. The courses available are half day, full day and two day. A half day surf lesson lasts for two hours. Surfing lessons provide an accelerated introduction into a very difficult sport by the use of 'beach teaching' the skills required by qualified instructors able to asses individuals ability and surfing conditions. As a measure of the success of the Surf School we find that the majority of people achieve stand up surfing in their first lesson.
Tuition is also available for surfers who want to improve or learn new skills.
The surf school has taught a wide variety of people. Our only requirements are that people can swim at least 50 metres and have enthusiasm. Often people just try a half days lesson to experience a new sport as a one off. Some may have already tried surfing and have made the decision to take surfing up as a regular sport. They can then either have a block of lessons to start or have a number of lessons spread out over the year and use their own equipment to practice what they learn in the surf school.
