We offer regular group sessions. The lessons go for 90 minutes. It is best to get there 10 minutes before the start of your lesson, so you have time to get ready. We are very strict at sticking to our ratios. They are up to 7 participants to every Surf Coach. This ensures you are getting plenty of attention and help throughout the lesson. The group size can vary depending on the time of year, but usually, we keep our groups quite small. This is great if you have a bunch of mates you want to try surfing with. Or it is also a great chance to come along on your own and meet some like-minded people. Maybe meet a new buddy to go surfing with!
Please take note that a minimum of 2 people is required for the group lesson to go ahead. If this hasn't occurred Surfing Services will be in contact to reschedule.
