The experience of catching your first wave will be one that is remembered for a lifetime.

Go Ride a Wave use use soft, foam surfboards - they’re safe, stable and very easy to learn on. Combine that with full length wetsuits to keep you warm, or rash-vests for the warmer months, you will be catching
your first wave in no time. Our goal is to give you a fun, safe experience of surfing, teaching you enough of the basics to get you “woohooing” all the way into the beach!
