How many lessons do I need?

Is learning to surf hard?
Surfing has its challenges, but with expert coaching and quality gear, it’s very achievable. We've been teaching since 1996, and 99% of our students stand up in their first lesson.
What should I bring to my surf lesson?
Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and a water bottle. We provide the board, wetsuit, rash vest, and all necessary equipment.
What if the weather is bad?
We run lessons in most weather, including light rain. If conditions are unsafe, like strong winds or lightning, we’ll reschedule or offer a refund.
How fit do I need to be to learn to surf?
You don’t need to be super fit. Beginner lessons are in waist-to-chest deep water, and there’s no need to paddle out unless you’re ready.
Private sessions may include more advanced options based on your comfort.
What if I am not a strong swimmer?
That’s totally fine. Let us know and we’ll tailor your session. Beginner lessons are held in shallow water, and you can stay close to shore if preferred.
Do you run Lessons all year round?
We run regular lessons from September through June. In July and August, we pause public lessons due to winter conditions but remain available for school and corporate groups.
What if I’m late or unable to attend my lesson?
We require at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Late arrivals may forfeit their lesson with no refund.
Where do we meet for the lesson?
Most lessons are held at Redgate Beach. Meet in the Redgate Beach carpark 15 minutes before your session. We’ll contact you if the location changes due to surf conditions.
