What to expect
You'll meet your instructor at Margaret River and get fitted with a wetsuit and board matched to your ability. The session starts with foundational instruction on the beach—board handling, paddling mechanics, and how to read the water. Then you'll get in the water together; your instructor will position you in appropriate breaks, watch your take-offs and balance, and correct your technique in real time. You'll have multiple attempts to stand and ride, with coaching between each wave.
The pacing is dictated by conditions and your progress rather than a fixed schedule. Expect active paddling and multiple attempts to catch waves. The session wraps after two hours, and you'll head back to shore.

Good to know
This is for anyone wanting a proper introduction to surfing with professional guidance—particularly useful if you've tried group lessons and want individual attention, or if you're nervous about ocean safety. You'll need a moderate fitness level, as surfing involves sustained paddling and repeated physical effort; it's not recommended if you have poor cardiovascular health or are pregnant. Margaret River can have variable conditions, so water temperature and swell quality will vary by season. The lesson is one-on-one, so you're getting dedicated attention but no peer energy. Wetsuit and board are included; bring a towel and a change of clothes.
