What to expect
You'll meet your instructor on the beach and get a quick briefing on technique, pop-up mechanics, and ocean awareness. Expect to spend the first 15–20 minutes in the shallows practising your stance before heading into deeper water. The instructor watches the lineup, positioning you to catch manageable waves and offering feedback between sets. It's physical but paced to your fitness level. Water temperature and conditions vary seasonally, so waves might be mellow or punchy depending on the day.
Good to know
Bring a towel and change of clothes. Nearby public transport is accessible. The beach accepts prams for anyone minding young children. No experience needed; groups are levelled to match ability.
