ABOUT BEGINNER I & II
Lessons are split into Kids (6-12 years old) and All Ages (13 & over). We recommend anyone under the age of 10 to have a Surf Buddy in the water.

This level is for those who can control their surfboards in the white water waves. You will continue to practice catching waves independently (without assistance from coach), you will learn to paddle with confidence, refine your leap to feet, consolidate your skills riding your surfboard towards the shore.
BEGINNER II
This level is for who can control their surfboards in the white water. Practice catching waves unassisted however aim to catch the edge of the green faced wave.
