What to expect?

You'll meet your instructor at the beach carpark. Then we'll get changed and head down to the beach for an introduction covering theory & safety info. After a quick warm up we'll get in the water, where the instructor will give you personalised tips and help guide you into waves if necessary. You'll have lots of time to enjoy the water and waves while our instructor will help you to continue improving.

We can also arrange catering/ other add ons to make the perfect day! Give us a shout if you'd like to chat over any plans.

What to bring?

Please bring a towel, warm clothes for getting changed into afterwards and water. We recommend arriving with swimwear on as it makes getting changed easier.

Please note!

Times shown on booking can change so we can suit with what works for the wave conditions. We will get in touch if we need to change the time/ meeting location
