Had a surf lesson for two and it was so fun! Our instructor Damien was very nice he guided us throughout the whole session, explained everything clearly in detail. We felt really supported and had such a great time. Highly recommend this place! 🏄♂️✨

After 1 lesson I was able to catch most waves. Totally recommended for all beginner surfers. If I had more time I would chose the 3 days combo.

My son had his very first surf lesson here today, and I can't express enough how grateful we are for this wonderful experience. Kira was absolutely incredible with my son — she was kind, patient, and incredibly skilled. Thank you so much for making this such a memorable and joyful moment for him. He hasn't stopped talking about it and is already eager to return!

We had a really good time at our surf lesson! (29/08/25). We had a 2hr lesson and learnt quite a lot for only being beginners! And we were also able to hit some waves! The instructor who took us was very helpful too!

I had an amazing experience with this place! As a complete beginner, I was a bit nervous, but the instructors were incredibly nice and patient. They provided clear instructions and made sure I felt comfortable and confident in the water. They even gave me a boost of confidence when I caught my first wave! The whole experience was so much fun, and I couldn't wait to get back out there and try agai...
Book lessons at least a week ahead in summer (Dec–Feb). From June to August rent a wetsuit; in warmer months a rash shirt is enough.
