FAQs

  • What do I need to bring?

    We provide all equipment for the lesson (surfboard, wetsuit & booties on request). If you have your wetsuit you are more than welcome to wear it. We advise you bring swimming togs, a changing towel and warm clothes for after the lesson!

  • Where can I park?

    You can park in the stone car park beside the Bervie and access the surf school via the blue gate. You can also park in the car park on Keel Beach and walk down to the right side of the beach to access the surf school via the sand path up to the dunes to Bervie Guesthouse.

    Parking at the Bervie Guesthouse is strictly for guests only!

  • Do I need to know how to swim?

    It is advised that you are able to swim but isn’t required that you are an excellent swimmer. The lessons are done in hip depth water to ensure safety for all students.

  • Do I have to book lessons in advance online?

    No, you can ring us or show up on the day. There is a limited 1:8 ratio for each lesson for instructors so if a lesson is full, we will not be able to accommodate you in the lesson if fully booked but we will fit you into our next available lesson!

  • What qualifications do your instructors have?

    All of our instructors are ISA qualified level 1 surf instructors. This means that our instructors have been trained to a national standard in surf instructing and can teach you the basics of surfing to get you started on your surfing journey!

  • Do you provide rentals?
