“Learning to surf is a skill for life and there is so much more to surfing than just standing up on a board. Just like learning to swim or snow ski correct technique is the key. Surfing is my passion and coaching surfing is my full time job. I’m there in the water for every session building your confidence and surf safety education is a big part of every lesson I conduct. So make a lifestyle choice to become a surfer and surf for the rest of your life! I have friends still surfing in their late 60’s and 70’s, surfing really is the fountain of youth and I’ll teach you to love it just as much as I do.”
Miles NiddrieBEGINNER SURF LESSONS
Our local beaches have lots of differences and I will teach you how they work and why. Remember to find suitable waves for your level of surfing involves tide, wind, swell size and sandbanks. Every beach works differently and 1 beach can be dangerous and unsafe but a short drive away another beach can be perfect on the SAME day! All lessons include vital surf safety education and information on wave types, rips and currents, sandbanks, tides and much more.
If you want to improve your surfing then book a lesson to get further instruction on more advanced surfing, including wave and beach selection, improving your turns, choosing the right board and equipment, fitness and stretching for surfing. Don’t forget paddling fitness, catching waves is what surfers do, so make sure you include some paddling in every session so you can build up the muscles you use for paddling and increase your wave catching.
