About this tour
Two-hour private surfing lesson on Torquay's breaks, tailored to your ability whether you're paddling out for the first time or refining your technique. Your coach—an active surfer, not just an instructor—adapts the session to your level and needs, then reads the conditions on the day to find the best waves. All equipment provided, though you can bring your own board if you prefer. The one-on-one format means genuine progression, not generic group drills.

- Real surfers teaching, not career instructors
- Coach scouts best waves and conditions daily

What to expect
You'll meet your coach at the beach and go over what you want from the session—whether that's pop-up technique, wave selection, or line-up positioning. They'll check your board if you've brought one, or fit you with a suitable stick from their quiver. Once in the water, expect hands-on feedback: they'll watch your takeoffs, paddle strength, and positioning, offering real-time tips between waves. The pace is yours. A beginner spends more time on fundamentals; an intermediate surfer works on turning and control. You'll finish with access to hot showers and a change room.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required; unsuitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Public transport nearby. Coach will assess your board's suitability for the conditions and your ability.
