Book a one-on-one lesson if you prefer personalised attention and instruction. This option allows you to have the undivided attention of our experienced coaches who will tailor the lesson to your specific needs and skill level.
Group Lesson – If you enjoy learning in a social setting, our group lessons are a great option. Join a small group of fellow surfers and receive guidance and instruction from our coaches. You'll have the opportunity to learn from each other and cheer each other on as you ride the waves.
Private Group Lesson – If you have a group of friends or family members who all want to learn to surf together, our private group lessons are perfect for you. Enjoy the camaraderie and support of your loved ones as you embark on this exciting surfing journey together.
Kids Lesson – We offer specialised lessons for kids, ensuring that they have a safe and enjoyable experience while learning to surf. Our coaches have experience working with children and know how to create a fun and engaging environment for their lessons.
Woolworths Surf Groms - We are proud to be a part of the Woolworths Surf Groms programme, which aims to introduce kids aged 5-12 to the joys of surfing in a safe and structured environment. Our coaches are trained by Surfing WA and follow a nationally recognised curriculum, ensuring that your child receives quality instruction.
