- Lesson times change daily to suit tide and swell conditions.
I schedule lessons using the tides charts in advance and confirm the day before and let you know when and where. Sometimes this may change on the day if a more suitable beach is required due to changes in surf conditions. Primary locations are Blacksmiths, Caves and Stockton beaches with other beaches selected when conditions allow.

Main locations are Blacksmiths, Caves and Stockton beaches. Like our lesson times, locations vary to give you the best experience and find you the best waves!
About
This program is for surfers who are looking to step up their skills. Ideally you will have your own equipment and already be doing turns, but just like golf your technique needs some correction.
Training will include paddling/fitness improvement, stance correction, turns and wave selection, stretching/core strength and adjusting your surfboard design to suit your surfing style more effectively. We use video replaying and skateboard training. We provide Information on local beaches using surf forecasting tools and expert advice on surfing equipment.
