Highlights
Outing Highlights
Core surfing skills and ocean awareness
Across three consecutive days children learn incremental surf skills, ocean awareness and beach safety through group games, skills drills and logbook activities led by experienced coaches.
Short, focused sessions with continuous coaching
Each session begins with beach‑based warmups and safety briefings, moves into waist‑to‑chest‑deep water for supervised wave time, then finishes with a brief wrap‑up and progression notes.
Goodies, certificates and a chance to win a surfboard
Participants receive vouchers, a fin and wax bag, toy, logbook and certificate, plus entry into a draw to win a surfboard valued at over $600.
What the day feels like
What three days in the program feel like
The rhythm is deliberate: arrive ready to get in the water, meet your coaches and get fitted, run through beach basics, spend most of the session in safe, supervised waist‑to‑chest‑deep conditions practicing rides and drills, then return to shore for a short debrief and logbook check—culminating on the final day with skill signoffs and spot prizes.
