Are you bored of the same beginner surf lesson year after year?

Welcome to Blue's Improver Surf Lesson where we look to teach you the skills you need to surf your first small unbroken waves!

Take Your Surfing Beyond The White Water

Our Improver Group Surf Lesson is designed for for anyone 11 years old+ who has surfed multiple times, can stand on 8/10 white waves, and is comfortable paddling their board independently in deep water.

Depending on conditions you might delve into new advanced surfing skills such as controlling your board, paddling out back, wave selection, turning, refining your pop-up technique, surfing unbroken small waves and more.

We keep our Improver Surf Lessons super small with only 5 students per instructor (compared to 8 at other schools), so you'll get more 1-on-1 time with them.

Your surfing journey couldn't be in better hands!

*Please note we need a minimum of two people booked for a group lesson to go ahead

    I cannot speak highly enough of these guys. Adam was an amazing host and just a genuinely nice guy. Grace was an incredible instructor and was able to pinpoint exactly what I needed to do to improve. Super pleased that I managed to improve fairly quickly but I attribute this to the great instruction and positive reinforcement that was given every time I stacked it as well as when it went well. Thanks so much guys I will definitely be back!”

    Absolutely brilliant morning with Adam and the chaps at Blue Surf School. Explained everything in layman’s terms and created a laid back atmosphere. No flashy/show-off behaviour from the instructors, just helping the small group out and encouraging us to get the most out of our improver class. Didn’t want the session to end and will definitely be booking again in the future.”

    We had a fantastic experience with Adam (the new owner) at Blue Surf School. I was staying at the Watergate Bay Hotel for 4 days and my two older sons had a number of incredible improver surf lessons. We also hired surfboards, boogie boards and wetsuits every day. Nothing was too much trouble for Adam. He’s a genuinely nice guy who really goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a great time…”

    Had a great improver surf lesson today with Ollie. He really helped improve my surfing and was also great company.😊 Thanks to Adam who was very helpful and had great communication throughout the booking process. He was also there to meet me and introduce me to Ollie my instructor and the rest of the group. Absolutely loved today and can’t wait to come back for another lesson with Blue Surf School. 🏄‍♂️”
