Highlights
Outing Highlights
Private, Small-Group Coaching
Lessons keep groups tight—one instructor for up to six students—and you can request a closed family-only group for a small extra charge; if more than six want to participate the operator can allocate a second instructor so everyone gets attention.
Everything Provided
Boards and wetsuit hire are included, removing a common logistics barrier for families and making it easy to join the lesson with minimal packing.
Family-Focused and Fun
The program is billed as a fun, family-first introduction to surfing—an easy entry point for children and adults alike, with lessons aimed at creating lasting memories for the whole group.
What the day feels like
What the Two-Hour Family Lesson Feels Like
Over a two-hour session, the emphasis is on clear, personal instruction for family groups: instructors work within a strict student ratio so each participant gets attention, equipment is supplied so the focus stays on learning and enjoying the water, and the operator can adapt staffing to suit groups larger than six.
