Good to know
Yes — booking ahead lets us match you to the right tide window and instructor.
Absolutely. Our beginner class starts from the very basics — carrying the board, paddling, and standing up — on gentle, beginner-friendly waves.
Swimwear, sunscreen, and a towel. We provide the board, rash guard, and drinking water.
Sessions follow the tides. Mornings (around 06:30–11:00) suit cleaner intermediate waves; afternoons (around 11:00–17:00) are ideal for beginners. We confirm your time a day ahead.
Soft-tops for beginners and shortboards as you progress. Your instructor picks the right board and you can switch as you improve.
Spaces are limited, so let us know as early as possible if your plans change and we'll find the best solution with you.
