What to expect
Your instructor will start on the sand, walking you through board mechanics and the pop-up motion before you enter the water. Expect to spend the first 20 minutes getting comfortable paddling and reading the lineup. Once in the water, the focus shifts to catching whitewater waves—these are forgiving and teach you positioning without the intimidation of larger sets. You'll repeat this cycle: paddle, pop-up, ride, paddle back. By session's end, most people stand up at least once. It's physically demanding but achievable for anyone reasonably comfortable in ocean water.
Good to know
Bring your own sunscreen and towel. Public transport reaches the beach easily. Not suitable if you're a non-swimmer, pregnant, have spinal concerns, or poor cardiovascular fitness. Minimum age 10 years. Wear the provided rash guard to prevent board rash.
