What to expect
You'll meet your instructor at the beach and get kitted out with a wetsuit and board suited to your size and skill level. The water at Kirra is typically warm and the swell predictable, which is why the breaks here favour learners. Your instructor will position you in the right part of the lineup, show you how the board responds, and work you through take-offs and balance. Expect plenty of paddle time, a fair few wipe-outs, and genuine feedback on what's working. The pace is entirely yours.
