What to expect
You'll be picked up from town and driven to either Brunswick River or Lennox Head, depending on conditions that day. Your guide will run through the basics on land—stance, paddle technique, balance—before you step onto your board in the water. The two hours includes instruction, practice, and time to settle into paddling rhythm. Water is generally sheltered, making it manageable for newcomers. Bring sun protection; you're exposed on the water. The experience concludes with a return transfer to your starting point.
Good to know
Your guide will confirm the best session time once you book, factoring in tides and weather. Bring water or a drink bottle (not included). Public transport runs nearby if you prefer independent travel. Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or significant cardiovascular concerns.
