    3 x 2hr morning/afternoon surf lessons lessons for families of two or more surfers with at least one participant between 7-16yrs. The 'Apprentice' package offers 6hrs of progressive learning over 3 days.

    These family sessions are open-group lessons, so you may be grouped with other families or individuals who are of a similar standard and/or experience level. If you would rather have your lessons privately, with just your family and one instructor, please take a look at our PRIVATE LESSON rates.

    Please note: The booking will be placed with the assumption that the course will run over consecutive days and at the same time slots, but if you wish to customise the days/times of your course, there will be an opportunity to do so in the "Any additional comments?" section of the booking process.
