Learn to surf, build ocean confidence, develop surf skills for life
The Afterschool Surfing Club runs once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. Same time slot, same crew, same beach. That consistency is the whole point. Kids build friendships, build skills, and build genuine ocean confidence in a way that a one off lesson simply can’t deliver.
Each 75 minute session follows a simple structure:
Skills build progressively across the 6 weeks. We track each surfer’s development so no one is left behind and no one gets bored. By the end of the program, most kids are catching waves independently and asking when they can sign up again, or join one of our overnight camps
The program runs once a week for 6 consecutive weeks, school terms 1 & 4.
