ABOUT THE WEEKEND
This is where surfing starts to get really exciting, but really hard.
The Intermediate Surf Course is for people that have got all the basics dialled, can catch unbroken waves with ease, that are looking to add manoeuvres to their game.
That's what this course is all about.
We skip all the basics, and focus exclusively on the more advanced elements of surfing, things like generating speed and pumping, cutbacks, carves and more.
We'll go in depth into the areas that matter, helping you to accelerate your progress in as short a time as possible.
Over the weekend you'll be immersed alongside a group of people at the same stage in the learning cycle, all with the same objectives of getting better, all helping to push one another in the pursuit of rapid improvements.
You'll rinse through a series of theory, practical in-water tuition, plus video analysis breakdowns of each session.
HIGHLIGHTS
The weekend course is broken up into x4 blocks (AM & PM over two days), with each block split into three sessions:
THEORY
This is where we go into detail learning new skills, ready for application in the water. We follow a roadmap with pre-defined outcomes to help you improve quickly.
IN-WATER TUITION
You’ll have assistance in-water should you need it at all times. Our trained instructors will be on hand to provide real-time feedback, offer advice, and showcase demonstrations.
VIDEO ANALYSIS
All the action in the water is filmed, ready for frame by frame dissection by our qualified instructors. With slow-mo and zoom we’re able to find any blindspots that are holding you back, uncover any technical frailties, and give you crystal clear feedback from which to improve.
We rinse and repeat this format over the whole weekend and the transformations we’ve witnessed have been incredible, just check out some of our reviews.

We'd love to say we can guarantee perfect waves every weekend, however the truth is, that's not possible.
We're at the whim of mother nature, and we'll embrace it in all its forms.
Furthermore, the way the content is structured - with the theory & video analysis - the quality of the waves effects us little in the learning process.
We make the most of whatever conditions we have on offer.
Come wind, rain, hail or shine, we're ready to go.

Lauren Fenton
I did the weekend course and absolutely loved it, instructors were fantastic, extremely knowledgable and understanding. So much feedback and massive confidence booster for me. Would highly recommend, and if unsure, phone Loz, she's great to talk to and so passionate.

Claire Norriss
I attended a weekend surf course recently and have to say it blew my expectations out of the water. Rowan, Loz & Vendela are an amazing team and deliver the goods in the perfect way - some theory, lots of time in the water, and a whole heaps of laughs.
