We have now replaced the Waikiki wave with the Improver wave, a more realistic ocean-like wave to help you progress your surfing skills which we are confident you will enjoy!

What’s the Improver Wave?

The Improver wave sits in between Beginner Lessons/Sessions and our Intermediate wave.

This is the best place to start learning how to ride waves in our Reef which is at the back of our lake. On this wave you’ll progress from riding white water waves to unbroken green waves, on this classic 1.5ft tall reef style wave.
