Small groups mean more coaching—not more waiting.

Each squad is capped at six surfers so Frenchy can keep the group safe, watch individual waves and give feedback that fits each child.

Important before booking

  • Surfers bring their own board and wetsuit
  • Surfing SA membership is required
  • Term bookings are non-refundable
  • Locations and times can move with surf and safety
  • One listed date is reserved as the cancellation buffer

Not sure about level?

Do not guess. Send Frenchy a short clip or explain what waves your child catches, what board they ride and how comfortable they are in 2 ft surf.
