What to expect
You'll arrive at the beach, get fitted into a wetsuit and rash vest, and receive a safety briefing from your coach. The lesson combines water time with hands-on guidance—expect to paddle out, practise pop-ups on the board, and work on positioning and balance. Coaches stay in the water with you, offering real-time tips. The pace suits your fitness; there's plenty of floating and recovery time built in. Conditions vary daily, but instructors select the best local break for your group's abilities.
