Can I join if I’m an intermediate surfer?

Yes – our surf tours are perfect for intermediate surfers. If you book the addon for a guided lesson, you might be mixed with beginners, but our groups are nice and small, so you’ll get plenty of attention at your own surfing level.

Is this surf lesson kid-friendly?

Absolutely! Our surf lessons are very family-friendly and are a great way for kids to experience the ocean in a safe and supportive environment. Double Island Point is the perfect place to learn for young kids, because the wave is very beginner friendly.

For children under 8 years of age joining a group lesson, we require a parent or guardian to assist in the water with the kids as well. This helps ensure younger children receive the extra attention they may need, as the instructor will also be supervising other participants in the group.

Our instructors are experienced in teaching children and will always adapt the lesson to suit the age, confidence, and ability of the group. If you have younger children or would like advice on the best lesson option for your family, please get in touch and we’d be happy to help.

“Our kids received 2 learn to surf vouchers for Christmas gifts and went along with their coisins for an awesome day of surfing at Double Island Point with Sean and his team, Andre and Luke. They helped the kids in the water, taught them correct paddling techniques and which waves to catch. They guided the kids and cheered when when kids caught waves. Happy kids all around, Seriously an Epic day. Will definitely be booking in again. Thank you.”
