Your Typical Itinerary
Day 1
Departing from Sydney in the morning, sit back, relax and enjoy the view as you travel down the South Coast to the surf school in Gerroa. You will then arrive at Seven Mile Beach, not only is it a picturesque national park beach but also the location for beginners to learn to surf.
For your first lesson you’ll be taken straight to the beach and receive tuition on tides and conditions, how to identify the safest part of the beach to surf, followed by teaching you the paddling technique. When you are comfortable with this, your instructor will then go on to teach you how to stand up on your board and take you into the water to experience catching your first wave. From our experience most people will stand up within the first lesson. Each of your lessons will be two hours long and will progress your technique and skills from the one before. Between each lesson you will have a rest period and be provided with lunch. After your lessons, it’s your time to relax in this stunning location. Why not unwind in a hammock, watch DVD’s, go for a walk along the National Park beach or get to know the other surfers on your course!
Day 2
Wake up to the sounds of surfing life, as you all meet up for breakfast, before starting your first lesson of the day and heading to the beach. After your first two hour lesson you will have a chance to relax and have lunch before another lesson in the afternoon. In the evening chill out and enjoy all that surfing life brings.
Day 3
By day three you will probably be dreaming of catching waves, waking up raring to hit the surf. The way the day is structured will be very similar to the second day; however you will continue to build on your surfing techniques, making turns and riding across the wave.
Day 4
This will be your last day at the surf school before heading north to Byron Bay. After your second 2 hour lesson you will have time pack and get ready for the journey back to Sydney. You should get back at the Scubar in Sydney at roughly 7pm. This is your chance to enjoy some free beer, pizza and party! Once you’ve had time to unwind, you will catch the express overnight coach from outside Scubar, which will take you to Byron Bay.
Day 5
When you arrive into Byron Bay you will be greeted by one of the local guides who will take you to your accommodation. Once there you will be given some information on Byron Bay including specific tips on surfing at the local beach and knowledge of the area.
You will then only need to take a short walk to the beach to put all that you have learnt at the surf school over the past few days into use on one of Australia’s renowned surf spots.
