Margaret River Group Surfing Lesson

1 to 4 hours

Overview

This group surfing lesson is a straightforward way to get started in Margaret River, whether you are trying surfing for the first time or want to build confidence in the water. Over two hours, your coach covers the basics of catching waves and staying safe, with support from the beach through to the water. All the main gear is included, so you do not need to organise a board or wetsuit yourself. If you want more time to improve, there is also the option to book a three-lesson package.

Why backpackers love it

It is an easy way to try surfing without having to buy or hire gear separately, and the group format keeps the price relatively accessible. Having coaching both on the beach and in the water makes it less intimidating for beginners, especially if you are travelling solo or have never surfed before. The option to upgrade to a three-lesson package is handy if you are staying a bit longer and want more than a one-off taster.

What to expect

The session starts with beach-based instruction, where your surf coach runs through key techniques and safety basics before you hit the water. From there, you will practise with the coach nearby, getting tips and help as you go rather than being left to figure it out alone. Expect plenty of encouragement, especially when you are working towards your first proper wave. Surfboard, wetsuit and rash guard are provided, and sunscreen is included too. You will need at least moderate fitness, and the minimum age for group lessons is 10.
