Sunrise Surf

Sunrise Surf

For the first time, we are offering you a great opportunity to kick off the day with purpose, connection, and a splash of saltwater.

Our Sunrise Surf Sessions are all about mental health awareness, community spirit, and the joy of surfing. In collaboration with local legends Let’s Go Surfing and Surf Getaways, plus inspiring groups like the All Girls Surfriders, we’re creating a space for everyone to feel included and uplifted.

Whether you’re a beginner keen to catch your first wave or an experienced surfer ready for a morning session, there’s something for you.

We’re offering surf lessons for kids and adults (beginner/intermediate) as well as a guided paddle out for advanced surfers who bring their own gear.

Best part: ITS FOR FREE!
Pre-registration necessary, spots are limited!
