Families that surf together smile together!

Our 2 hour family introduction to surf session is for participants aged 8+ who just want to jump on a board and experience the thrill of surfing. This is a great session for first timers or some one who has maybe done one or two lessons and just need a bit more help with the basics. The intro lesson is conducted in the white wash, in waist deep water so it’s safe for anyone.

This lesson is highly encouraged for families that want to learn to surf together! However we do require children to be confident in the waves and able to carry their own surfboard down to the beach. If your child is under the recommended age or not confident, we recommend our Kids Beginner Lessons.

If you want to “Get your surf on” you will arrive at the beach in your boardies frothing to get in the water after a quick safety brief. You won’t be ready to join the pro’s at Straddie but we do guarantee we will do everything we can to get you standing up and catching a wave in the white wash in the first 2 hour session

Surfing is such a great sport for all ages and these sessions are designed to give you a taste of surfing and hopefully you love it and want to come back for more.
