The forecast decides the lesson, not the timetable
A beginner needs small, clean, waist-high surf. A good school will move or postpone rather than put you in the wrong conditions.
You will spend the first day paddling
Standing up comes later than people expect. Arms and shoulders are what ache afterwards.
Learn where the rip is before you paddle out
Every surf beach has one. It is the first thing the instructor should point at.
Reef cuts and sunburn are the usual injuries
Not sharks. Rash vest, reef-safe sunscreen, and ask about the bottom you are surfing over.

What travellers said
“Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Recommended.”
“Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would send friends their way.”
