Coaching

Learn. Progress. Belong.

Surf Side isn't somewhere you try something once. It's somewhere you progress.

Your first wave

It has to start somewhere.

We want to introduce a completely new generation to surfing and watersports. Our intention is to offer coaching for children from approximately six years old — subject to final operating requirements, safety requirements and individual ability.

A child arrives having never surfed. They meet their coach. They try, they fall, they laugh, they try again. Then they stand up — and their parents are watching.
