Weekend Surf Camp For Beginners

Escape the city for a weekend and immerse yourself into the surf culture at Australia's original surf camp for beginners. Based on the NSW South Coast, admire the national park backdrop as you discover the thrill of learning to surf and relax in our modern beachside cabins!

On Friday afternoon, you’ll meet our drivers in central Sydney and relax whilst we take you down to the South Coast to our surf camp.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by our head surf instructor and the on-site staff. After an overview of the camp, you’ll find your rooms and start getting ready for surf camp to be your new home for the weekend! If the vibe is right, our guide can take you to one of the local pubs or if the mood is chilled, sit back and get to know your co-surfers.

On Saturday morning, you’ll meet for breakfast and then it’s time to head to the beach! Once there, you’ll receive a talk on tides and conditions, and how to identify the safest part of the beach to surf, followed by paddling technique. After that, it’s straight into the water to practice your paddling.

Once you feel comfortable, your surf instructor will then go on to teach you how to stand up on your board and take you into the water to experience catching your first wave! Most people will stand up within the first lesson. During the day you’ll receive 2 surfing lessons which are each 2 hours in duration and you’ll be provided with lunch and a rest period in between the lessons.

Afterwards, it’s time to relax. Dinner is served and then you’re free to enjoy the evening as you wish.

The next morning all you can think about is getting back into the water! After breakfast you’ll head to the beach, where you’ll have 2 x 2 hour lessons, building on the skills you learnt yesterday, with lunch and a rest period in between.

After your last group surfing lesson, you’ll be given time to pack and get ready for the journey back to Sydney. We arrive back at approximately 7pm on Sunday where you can join us at a well-known local surf bar to enjoy free beer and pizza with your new surf mates!
