Begin each day with a tasty breaky available from 7am. Then head off on your surf lesson with Mojo’s elite instructors who will take you to the break of the day to begin your surf lesson.
During the week there will be fitness and surf theory to get involved in. After class, chill out at the beach or around the fire at night.
The weekends are all yours! You can chill out, surf, hang out with friends or go visit some of the sights and scenes the local area has to offer. This is also a good time to practice and hone those developing skills and be ready for the week to come!Â

The local payment of $1,200 AUD is to cover the cost of the official certification and accreditation as a level 1 instructor through ASI. This is not a mandatory charge and the Academy courses can just be used as a personal developmental tool if preferred. To ensure a successful pass rate, we also use internal assessments prior to the student commencing the official certification process. The local payment covers the following qualifications:
Ocean Surf Safety Award
Apply First Aid (Senior First Aid)
Surf Coaching Level 1 Award
Oxygen Administration
Everyone progresses in their surfing at different speeds, but with the support and instruction from the qualified and experienced academy coaches we give everyone the same chance to pass the instructor course and gain your qualifications. You will attend surf fitness sessions that will increase your overall fitness including swim training giving you the best chance of passing the Ocean Surf Safety Award. Surf theory lessons and coaching practical opportunities will increase your chances of being completely prepared for the qualifications assessments. The academy is a challenging and exciting experience where you learn new skills and make new friends along the way.
To surf at the intermediate level requires the ability to ride waves and perform manoeuvres in the correct section with correct balance. Most importantly, it requires an ability to read the waves and how the elements and conditions alter their state. A general knowledge of the ocean and surf, hazards and conditions at different types of surf breaks are all important factors to give a holistic understanding of intermediate level surfing. No wave is the same. No surf break is the same. Conditions can change constantly. This knowledge and skill can only be acquired by time in the surf and practice.
Depending on your ability, ocean and surf knowledge and experience, it takes approx. 500 – 1500 hours to be able to surf at the intermediate level.

I had the best time here doing the three months academy program. The instructors were really nice and always helpful. I lived with amazing people and made some friends for life. The food was delicious and every night there was something different. The instructor lessons were a lot of fun and the instructors really helped me with how to be a good instructor and gave a lot of tips especially outside of the instructor lessons (e.g. during lessons or free surf). If I struggled with something, I could always talk to them at anytime and they gave me great advice.
The fitness program was a good preparation for the qualifications and also to get in shape. I really enjoyed the yoga classes.
I would recommend this place to anybody who wants to learn how to surf, be an instructor or just enjoy life.
Yeeew ?
