Program
Soul Surf School introduces you to surfing on some of Australia's most stunning beaches. Professional surf coaches all with a minimum of eight years experience in the local area will take you to the best waves, teaching you the foundations of good surfing in a fun-filled and safe environment. Soul Surf School offers surf experiences for total beginners looking for an introduction to surfing to intermediate surfers looking to fine tune their surfing techniques.
The surf sessions, which are daily surf safaris, will take you to some stunning surf locations that are perfect for learning to surf. The five lessons are a complete introduction to surfing so whether you have never surfed before or want a refresher course, the experience is tailored specifically for you. Enough time will be spent explaining ocean safety which ensures that you will know the safe area to surf or swim.
You will be taught all the necessary steps to get you surfing and riding waves in no time at all. Soul Surf School has licenses to teach surfing at up to 15 different beaches so whatever the wind, swell, or tides are, there is a suitable beach that enables quick surfing progression. The team of instructors is all career surf guides which mean they have a lot of experiences to offer each individual surfer who comes on a surf trip with them.
Soul Surf School uses top of the range learner surfboards and Oneil wetsuits in the cooler winter months, which ensures maximum comfort at all times through the surf sessions. Soul Surf School runs two surf sessions per day with each session lasting for four hours. This time frame takes into consideration transfer time (to and from the beach) beach theory and water time. Sometimes the transfer time varies due to the necessity to find the most suitable surf conditions on a given day.
