Stories from the Shore

The club sessions gave my kids and me so much. Being part of a surfing community, watching their confidence grow, and knowing they were supervised by trained instructors gave real peace of mind.

The lads absolutely loved it. They were stoked and genuinely appreciative of the opportunity — something I didn’t expect them to articulate so clearly.

Both of our children really enjoyed the Dolphin Sessions. They progressed nicely over the summer in a safe, fun environment with expert guidance. The pay-as-you-go format offers the flexibility busy families need. Highly recommend.

Brian was an amazing instructor — patient, understanding and completely tuned into Aarav’s needs. To describe Aarav’s experience: excitement before, joy during, and longing for the next session.

My son, who has trouble with his balance, was able to stand up on the board in the third session. A great instructor, amazing with kids — a true professional
