THE GEAR

Board, Wetsuit and Support Included

The operator supplies surfboards, wetsuits, leashes and wax; sessions also include surf insurance and the guidance of a surf guide so you can focus on timing and technique.

THE SPOTS

Driven to the Best Daily Break

Rather than a fixed beach, the group is transported to the area's best daily surf spot—chosen for the day’s tide and sea conditions—to give you the most consistent waves available.

THE SESSION

Focused Time on the Water

Sessions are organised around tides and conditions; the advertised outing runs 2.5 hours and can be extended up to four hours depending on sea state, giving room for longer surf days when conditions allow.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

The format is designed to maximise time in the water while giving experienced surfers local insight on line-up choice and conditions.
