Does my child need to be a strong swimmer?
No, we operate in waist-depth water, and instructors are close by at all times.
What if the weather’s bad?
We run in almost all conditions. If it’s unsafe or flat, we’ll reschedule where possible.
Can my surfer bring their own gear?
Absolutely, and we’ll help decide if it suits the day’s conditions. We also supply everything.
What about supervision?
We operate with a target max of 1:6 instructor-to-surfer. All staff are qualified, first-aid trained, and surf rescue awarded.

We specialise in supporting neurodiverse children and those needing extra care. For physical limitations, please contact us to chat through what’s best.
