SUITABLE FOR

The Advanced Surf session is available to those aged 6+ who are able to swim 25m unaided, but you must also be an experienced surfer and feel comfortable in most conditions.

If you’re not sure of your ability we recommend starting off with an easier session such as a Waikiki or an Intermediate and working your way up.

Left or Right

Surfers can book ‘the left’ or ‘the right’ for their session, the waves are perfectly mirrored either side of the pier;

The Right: Is a righthander to the right of the pier as viewed from shore, which will be forehand for ‘regular’ stance and backhand for goofy stance.

The Left: Is a lefthander to the left of the pier as viewed from shore, which will be backhand for ‘regular’ stance and forehand for ‘goofy’ stance.

Surfers stay on their booked side for the duration of the session, with no switching, for safety reasons and to ensure surfers maximise their time in the lake. 

Who's it for


  • Advanced surfers with lots of experience  
  • Must have mastered all the fundamentals of surfing and surfing etiquette 
  • Can comfortably ride waves above 1m  
  • Can handle themselves in most conditions: duck diving through whitewater, paddling in deep water, lining up and the take-off zone, catching a wave before it breaks popping up to their feet, managing their speed, and turning on the open-face until the end of the wave.
