Faq

Are meals and accommodation included on weekends?

Accommodation and meals are included everyday of the week during the academy package

Do I need to bring my own wetsuit and board?

No, we supply all the equipment for you including surf boards, wetsuits, rash vests. If you prefer to bring your own wetsuit you can do so. If you decide that you would like to purchase your own equipment, the surf academy staff can assist in helping you choose the most appropriate surf equipment and surf boards from local shapers and surf shops. Surfboard wax and sunscreen is not included.

Do you have flexible booking options?

Yes, the date can be changed for free up to 14 days before travel.  

What is Mojopay?

Mojopay allows you to make a 25% deposit and pay the remaining balance 30 days before your start date. The repayment plan, frequency and value of payments is definable by the customer.

I am not very fit, will I still be able to join?

You will become very fit by the end of your Academy package! It’s a good idea to start some swim training if you can before the Academy, but if you don’t get around to it we will whip you into shape in no time!

When do I pay the local payment for the surf instructor qualification and why?

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

What are the chances to pass the instructor test?

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.

How long does it take to develop an intermediate surfing skill?

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.

  1. Rosalie Reuter (verified owner)

    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 ?
