What we offer
From absolute beginners to experienced surfers, we have the instructors and guides with the knowledge needed to take you to your next level.
We want to get you in the water and on the waves as soon as possible but safety comes first. All initial sessions start with a land based briefing which includes a run through of our safety practices.
Surf Lessons
Ideal if you’ve never surfed before, want a bit of a refresher or to pick up some tips on the local breaks. In a group lesson, we ensure a minimum of 1 instructor to 3 students, with in-the-water support at all times. Lessons typically last 2 hours and prices include board hire.
Private lessons from $35 | Group lessons from $30
Surf Packages
If you’re looking to book in for a few lessons or have a goal in mind then a package might be the best option for you.
Due to the nature of surf, we believe it is important to tailor each package to the individual so please get in touch for more details.
Guided Surf Trips
By foot, truck or boat, we will get you on the best local surf breaks depending on what you want, the conditions of the day and your level of ability. If we head out by boat, you can choose to make a day of it and combine it with a few hours of fishing. Drinks and lunch options available.
Need to hire a board?
Choose from our selection of short, beginner and longboards at reasonable rates.
Savour the moment.
