As an introduction to surfing these essential first sessions cover all you need to know to get going. The ABC session starts on the beach, then moves to the water working on board handling and safety, reading ocean conditions, paddling, catching broken waves, popping up and stopping safely. You’ll learn about the paddle out and techniques to make it easier, board control, quicker take offs, weight distribution and basic surfing etiquette. You will also benefit from the sessions focus on wave selection and catching and riding those green waves.

BEGINNERS may be surfing for the first time. You will be taught how to be safe in the water, as you catch your first waves. We’ll help to develop your confidence and surfing knowledge, offering you expert advice and teaching you the right techniques from the start.
