Beginner Surf Courses at The Wave

Book yourself into a beginner surf course and learn how to surf over 4 weeks. These lessons take place at the same time each week.

What To Expect

Each lesson starts with 30 minutes of practice with your coach. Then, you'll spend an hour in the waves with a surf coach.

Week 1: Get started with the basics with an introduction to surfing, start learning how to pop up and try to catch your first waves

Week 2: Gain confidence in the water; work on your muscle memory.

Week 3: Start learning how to turn, stay on your feet longer, and ride with more confidence.

Week 4: Putting it all together, use all your new skills to ride waves with style and control. We’ll also give you tips on how to continue improving your surfing beyond the course.
