FAQs
Do I need any prior surfing experience for the group lesson?
No prior experience is needed. The group lesson is designed for first-timers and beginners. Your instructor will cover everything on land before you get in the water, including ocean safety, paddling technique, and how to pop up on the board.
How much time will I actually spend in the water?
The 2-hour block includes a land safety briefing (approximately 15–20 minutes), with the remaining time spent actively in the water surfing.
Will I actually stand up on a wave?
Most first-timers do! The shallow, mellow waves at Kalama Park and the wide, stable beginner boards make it very achievable. Your instructor will time the waves for you and give you a push to get started.
What if I'm not comfortable in the water?
Let your instructor know before the lesson begins. They can keep you in the shallower sections and adjust the pace to your comfort level. That said, participants should have basic swimming ability.
What safety certifications do your guides have?
Your instructors are trained in surf instruction, ocean safety, CPR, and First Aid.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, advance booking is recommended, especially for prime morning time slots.
What happens if ocean or weather conditions aren't good for my scheduled lesson?
If conditions aren't suitable, your guides will work with you to reschedule for another date, or provide a refund per the cancellation policy below.
