You’ll need your swimming costume, a towel and some shoes for the beach.

Once everyone is ready it’s a short walk to either of the beaches where your coach provides an overview of your lesson.

The aim of our group lesson is to pass on enough information for you to feel confident to surf in your own time.

You’ll learn beach, surf and board safety, before practising your prone surfing and catching waves on your stomach.
