How To Surf 100

Surf Harmony – Surf Safety & Awareness

If you’re afraid of stepping into the surf, you’re not alone. There are thousands of people out there just like you, many of whom have had a traumatic childhood – or even adult – experience that has made them fearful of the water. The good news is that through our Surf Harmony class, we’ve successfully helped lots surf-phobic people not only overcome their fears, but become one with the ocean and truly enjoy the beauty of the surf. And rest assured, safety is our number one priority for our Surf Harmony students, so you’ll be in good hands.

How does it work? Well, we first help you love the sea before you even set foot in the water. Just knowing about how the surf works will help boost your confidence, so we spend a good deal of time on the beach, talking about your fears and explaining how things like riptides, sandbars and waves develop. Then we’ll talk about and show you how to cope in the waves, how to stay safe and how to thrive in the ocean. Then comes the fun part, where our caring and qualified professional instructors take you into the water and show you how to swim care-free in the waves. We’ll even show you how to bodysurf (as in no intimidating boards, just people-power). Surf Harmony graduates looking to improve further can then move up to our bodyboarding class or can even give surfing a go. Really!

So if you’ve ever wanted to enjoy the ocean and appreciate the beautiful coasts that Australia offers, here’s your chance. Not only can you get over your fears, but the experience will change your life forever.
