What to expect

Your instructor meets you on the sand, sorts your kit, and walks through stance and paddle technique before entering the water. Expect hands-on guidance in the shallows, then progression to catching small broken waves. The coach stays close, offering corrections and encouragement in the water rather than shouting from shore. You'll spend most of the hour actually surfing, not listening to theory. Rest breaks happen naturally between sets.

Good to know

Bring a towel and thongs. The beach has shower facilities. Morning sessions tend to have smaller, cleaner waves. Kirra can get crowded in peak times, but private lessons get priority water time. Suitable for most fitness levels; no prior experience needed.
