Half day or full day?
Half days (from $22 per student) suit smaller groups, typically 4 to 30 students, who want the core surf lesson and beach safety experience. Full days (from $25) suit groups of 30 or more, up to 100 students: we build an activity rotation around the surfing, adding beach education, surf rescue, beach games and team-building challenges so everyone is active all day.
