All our coaches are qualified surf instructors and lifeguards, chosen for their individual surfing ability, teaching experience and professionalism. We only employ instructors with extensive travelling, teaching and surfing experience and believe the quality of our lessons sets us apart from all other surf camps.

We enforce a ratio of one instructor per eight students and employ an assistant for each instructor for extra safety, effectively giving a 2-8 ratio of teaching staff to students. Your instructor and assistant will be assigned to your group for the duration of your stay meaning each day you can achieve personal targets discussed with your instructor each lesson.

The relationship between the instructor and customer is the most important factor in a students progression, our instructors live within the camp and are on hand 24/7 for any questions you may have.

We are one of the only surf camps to fully utilize the benefits of photo and video analysis, enabling you to see yourself surf and along with your coach spot areas for improvement. We have combined the best aspects of traditional surf lessons and professional training to provide a unique, safe and enjoyable learning experience.

The majority of surf camps teach in blocks of 45 minutes, despite this being a perfectly good format to structure lessons we feel our 2 hour per lesson rule allows for more time for improvement and enjoyment.

Fastrack option

The “Fastrack” package is the best way to improve your surfing ability and understanding in a limited amount of time, we run “Fastrack” courses for beginners and improvers.

Students receive a total of 15 hours of lessons, this is a 2 hour surf lesson each day with an extra 1 hour coaching session in the morning or evening.

This really is the best way to improve your surfing in a limited amount of time and provides a great selection of learning experiences in order to keep you motivated, excited and stoked the for whole time.

The extra benefits of these few additional lessons is unbelievable as it allows for a more in depth understanding of surfing theory and practice, along with seeing yourself surf and that all important extra quality time with your instructor to agree and work on personal goals for improvement.
