Private lessons work for 1 person right up to small groups. Pricing is $199 for 1-2 people, $299 for 3 surfers, and $59 for each additional person. For larger groups of 8 or more, contact us to discuss a group booking.
All of our instructors are ISA certified, first aid trained and surf rescue awarded. They’re experienced surfers and all instructors have a minimum 3-10 year + instructing, and they genuinely love what they do.
