LESSON DETAILS
1.5 Hours (90 mins) Daily (a Group Lesson requires at least 2 surfers to proceed)
I plan the lesson when we will get the best waves, and the best the time each day will vary depending upon the weather and surf conditions such as the tide, the waves and the wind. So, you book the day you'd like to surf, and I'll confirm (via email or SMS) the details of our lesson (e.g. location and time) at least 24 to 48 hours before our class, after I've checked the latest weather forecasts and surf reports.
LESSON TIMES
It's important to have your lesson on the best possible waves for learning to surf - this makes a huge difference in helping a new surfer do well and have the most fun!
The best time for our lesson will vary from day to day, based on tides and wave conditions. We will contact you (via email or sms) at least 24 to 48 hours prior to the day of your lesson, to confirm the best time and location.
ABOUT OUR LESSONS
You'll get heaps of individual attention from our expert, friendly coaches to help you learn quicker and have the most fun. Our surfing lessons are suitable for men and woman, boys and girls, of all ages, shapes, sizes & all abilities. Our comprehensive surf lessons last for 1.5 hours (90 mins), and include instruction on sun & surf safety, learning about the ocean and waves, how to surf (and how to surf better!), selecting the right surfboard, and the Rules of Surfing. Caloundra Surf School provides all the equipment for your surfing lesson.
What to Bring
You only need to bring the usual gear you’d take to the beach. Just bring your swimming costume, a hat, towel, sunglasses, sunscreen (if necessary, I’ll also supply free sunscreen from the Cancer Council Queensland!), and your smile!
What's Provided
We provide everything you need to surf in the lesson as part of the fee (the right size surfboard, and rash shirt when it’s warmer and wetsuit when it’s cooler). All equipment is included in the price.
Adventure Tips
Check tidal charts before your lesson
Tides affect wave quality significantly, so review local tide schedules for the best surfing conditions.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and the marine environment by applying eco-friendly sunscreen.
Arrive early for equipment fitting
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your lesson to get your board and wetsuit properly fitted.
Stay hydrated before and after surfing
Surfing is active and under the sun; drink plenty of water to maintain energy and prevent cramps.
