What to expect

You'll wake early for breakfast before heading out for morning or afternoon surf depending on conditions. Sessions last a few hours with a coach in the water offering real-time tips, followed by video playback to analyse your progress. Afternoons allow exploration—local cafes, walks to spot native wildlife, or downtime at camp. Evenings bring communal dinners and sometimes Indigenous storytelling sessions. You're camping in swags (bedroll tents), so expect basic but comfortable conditions. The pace is steady but physical; expect sore muscles the first couple of days.

Good to know

Moderate fitness essential. Not suitable if pregnant, with spinal issues, or cardiovascular concerns. Lunch is self-catering from local spots—budget accordingly. Public transport accessible nearby. Six days allows real progression; beginners shouldn't feel rushed.
