About this tour
Master the fundamentals of surfing at Corny Point on the Yorke Peninsula with a two-hour group lesson designed for those just starting out. Small class sizes mean your instructor can watch your technique closely as you progress from paddling to standing and catching waves. You'll work in the water with experienced guides who'll build your confidence gradually, all while soaking in the coastal scenery of South Australia's best beginner breaks.

What to expect
Expect to spend your first 20 minutes on dry land learning stance and technique before paddling out. Once in the water, your instructor will position you on waves suited to your ability—you won't be fighting massive swells. You'll feel the board beneath you, work on your pop-up (the move that gets you standing), and catch waves that let you ride for a few seconds initially. The group dynamic means you'll watch others progress too, which builds confidence. By the end, most beginners ride at least one wave standing. It's physically demanding but not brutal; instructors pace it to your fitness level.
