What to expect
Expect a thorough safety talk before entering the water—instructors drill fundamentals like reading conditions and understanding rip currents. You'll practice on the board in shallow water, then take waves with coaching from the shoreline. Group sizes stay intimate so monitors notice what's working and what isn't. Most learners catch several waves by the end of the session.
Good to know
Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or anyone with significant heart conditions. Public transport stops nearby. Infants can be brought in prams; older children must stay with adults. This is proper instruction, not babysitting.
