BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
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.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would send friends their way.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. No hesitation recommending them.

Boat was crowded. Fine for the diving, less fine for the surface intervals. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. No hesitation recommending them.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Questions people ask

You need to be comfortable out of your depth in the sea. The beginner sessions stay in waist-deep water on a sand bottom, and an instructor is in the water with you.
