Key Highlights

  • Let’s go surfing: Learn the basics of surfing - from paddling to standing up - with a local Aussie surfer
  • A helping fin: Your surfer-teacher stays by your side throughout the lesson, helping you to catch waves and craft your skills
  • Welcome to Bondi: Where better to surf than Australia’s most famous beach?

Overview

Is there anywhere more ‘Sydney’ than Bondi beach? The white sands and turquoise blue swell has a sort of gravitational pull for locals and tourists alike. Yep, it’s iconic, it’s beautiful and it’s the perfect place for those looking to kick-start their surfing career, or just catch a few waves for the first time.

Head over to Let’s Go Surfing HQ in North Bondi (just across the road from the beach) 35 minutes before your scheduled lesson. Here, you’ll meet your private guide, pop on a wetsuit (it’s provided for you) and grab a board.

Down on the beach your guide will spend about 10 minutes running you through the basics of surfing - from paddling, balancing, standing up and everything in between. Generally the best way to learn is by doing, so after a brief run-through on the shore you’ll hop in the water and get started.

Across the two hours, your surfer-guide will be in the water with you, helping you to catch good waves and improving your posture and skills. Most first-timers who take these lessons will stand and surf by the end of the two hours (it’s actually not as hard as you might think it is when you have someone guiding you), although the fun of this experience really lies in trying. If you’ve already got a bit of experience under your belt, your teacher will spend the lesson helping to improve and finesse those skills. Participants will also learn more about the surfing culture here in Australia, and life in Bondi too.

After two hours of surfing, you’ll head back to Let’s Go Surfing HQ to get changed and say goodbye to your guide. Then, you’re on your own at one of the best beaches in Australia. Enjoy it.
