What ages do you coach?

We coach groms of all ages, from around 5 up to confident teens. Younger children are welcome too. We’ll just have a quick chat first about their comfort in the water.

Does my child need to know how to swim?

Yes. Your child should be comfortable swimming, as lessons take place in the ocean. We always start gently in safe, shallow conditions.

Is it really one-on-one?

Yes. Every child gets their own instructor and full attention, every wave: the safest way to learn.

Can I watch from the beach?

Absolutely. Many parents love watching their child catch that first wave.

What should my child bring?

Just a swimsuit, a towel and some stoke. We provide the board, rash guard and reef-safe sunscreen.

My child has surfed before. Can you still help?

Definitely. We coach all levels, from first waves to improving groms, including competition-focused technique coaching.

How long is a lesson?

A short safety briefing on the beach, then time in the water, paced to your child’s energy, never rushed.
