Intermediate Surf Lesson
Intermediate Lessons
Our Intermediate Surf Lessons are a mixture of a land based lesson and in water training, they take place in the Reef area at the back of the lake. These lessons are all about improving your confidence on the Intermediate Wave. You’ll practice the basics such as pop up, paddle technique and stance, as well as learning how to turn and trim to generate speed. Your coach will also cover how to navigate the Reef and how to take off.
In the water, your coach will be with you every step of the way, giving you advice as you go along and ready and waiting with support and answers to your questions.
This session is not for beginners, you must have some surfing experience and confidence to take part in this lesson.

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.
