Highlights
Outing Highlights
Main Beach at The Spit
Lessons are held on Main Beach at The Spit, where the program places you directly onto sand and surf that suit beginner instruction and short, focused practice runs.
Private, Student-Focused Coaching
Each 1.5-hour session is private for groups of 1–4 students, letting instructors tailor progressions to your balance, confidence and goals so you can learn faster than in a large group.
Safety, Balance and Your First Waves
Lessons focus on practical skills: identifying rips and sweeps, board handling and paddling technique, choosing waves, and the easiest stand-up method for your level—culminating in that first ride.
What the day feels like
What the Lesson Feels Like
Expect a brisk, hands-on 1.5-hour lesson that moves from a short beach briefing into in-water practice. Instruction is practical and repetitive: drills on the sand, guided paddling through the wave zone, and coached attempts at standing and riding—each step tailored to the student so progress is steady and confidence builds quickly.
