What to expect

Expect a hands-on session tailored to your current ability. Your instructor will spend time in the shallows teaching paddle technique, pop-up mechanics, and how to read the wave face before moving into deeper water. Most beginners stand up and ride whitewater within the first hour. The bay's shape and bottom create predictable, rolling swells that forgive mistakes—ideal for learning fundamentals without fighting heavy currents. Bring a towel and change of clothes; the water varies seasonally but rarely gets brutally cold.

Good to know

Moderate fitness required. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Wetsuits vary in thickness by season. Public transport stops nearby; plan transport beforehand. Arrive 15 minutes early to fit kit properly.
