Intermediate Surf Lesson
Intermediate Lessons
Our intermediate surf lessons take place in the Reef area of the lake and they are all about improving your skills and boosting your confidence. They cover a range of areas, with a focus on learning how to control and manoeuvre your board as you ride the wave. Some of the key elements that you will touch on in the lessons are top and bottom turns, top turn snaps and cutbacks – as well as working on how to generate and maintain speed along a wave. The coaches will also work on helping you perfect your take-off!
The lessons are not only for those who are progressing from our Waikiki setting to the intermediate waves, but they are also highly recommended for anyone who wants to work on their core surfing technique. These lessons are about getting the foundations right – and possibly correcting any bad habits you may have picked up!

You must watch a Health & Safety video and sign a waiver before you surf with us, please ensure you do this before arriving on-site. After your first visit, you will only need to sign your waiver once every 60 days. The system will automatically notify you when it is time to sign your waiver, please ensure you do this before you arrive on-site. You must watch the whole Health & Safety video before you can sign your waiver, this is to reduce the briefing time when on-site and help keep you socially distanced.
