About this lesson

The classic Scarborough learn-to-surf experience

This is the lesson we're known for. Over a full 2.25 hours you'll go from the sand to standing up, guided by an accredited coach in a small group of just four to six surfers. That ratio is the whole point โ€” more waves caught, more feedback, more time actually surfing.

We run early to catch the cleanest conditions: glassy waves, light wind and an empty line-up. The sandbanks at Scarborough make some of the best beginner waves in the Perth metro area, and your coach reads the conditions on the day so you're always in the right spot.

What's included

  • โœ”
    All your gear. Soft learner board and a quality O'Neill wetsuit, sized for you on the day.
  • โœ”
    An accredited coach. Real instruction on safety, paddling, popping up and reading the waves.
  • โœ”
    Small groups, 4โ€“6 surfers. More personal coaching and far more waves per session.
  • โœ”
    2.25 hours in total. Roughly 50% more time in the water than a typical 1.5-hour lesson.

Who it's for

Complete beginners are the heart of every group โ€” most people in your lesson will be standing up for the first time too. Improving surfers are just as welcome; your coach pushes you into bigger or cleaner waves. Lessons are for ages 13 and over; for a younger start, see private lessons from age 10.

Where we meet

Lessons run daily at Scarborough Beach on The Esplanade, conditions permitting. In cooler months some lessons move to Leighton Beach with a warmer wetsuit โ€” we'll confirm your exact location and meeting point by email the day before.
