Pre-Surf Preparation

1. Reservations & Timing:

  • 48-Hour Notice: For a two hour class since spaces are limited, make sure to book your spot at least 48 hours in advance.
  • Private Lessons for Children: For younger surfers, it’s a good idea to email Nancy directly at nancy@nancyemerson.surf to customize a lesson that fits their needs.

2. What to Wear:

  • UV Rash Guard: A UV rash guard will be provided to protect you from both the surfboard and the sun.
  • Sunscreen:
      • Purchase Non-Nano Zinc Oxide, Organic, Reef Safe, and Oxybenzone-Free sunscreen before your lesson.
      • Nancy recommends Vertra, a premium sun care line she’s trusted for over 20 years. You can find it at https://www.vertra.com/.
      • Apply sunscreen before you leave for your lesson (whether from your hotel, condo, or lodge). Make sure to wash your hands afterward to prevent slipping when holding the rails of the surfboard.
    • If its Summer time and your skin is fair a great suggestion is to purchase black tights to prevent getting sunburnton your legs.

3. Lunch:

  • Lunch is included with the Five-Hour Surf Clinics, so you’ll be well-fueled for after your session to relax. Ensure you’re ready to make the most of the time on the water!

Things to Remember:

  • Surfer’s Safety & Etiquette: With the special attention to children needing private lessons, you’ll get personalized guidance. For everyone else, it’s important to remember surf etiquette, safety guidelines, and basic ocean awareness.
  • Surfing Certificate: Every student gets a Surfing Certificate at the end of the lesson, which is a nice memento of your experience on the Gold Coast in Australia!

Bonus Tips:

  • If you have any concerns about your sunscreen or any other gear, don’t hesitate to reach out to Nancy ahead of time via email or texting Nancy for a quick answer and for advice or recommendations.

Aloha! Nancy will help you find the perfect surf experience.

Even if you’re a beginner, don’t worry—we’ll have you up and riding with good form on your first or second wave! If you’re an experienced surfer and would prefer a surf guide, Nancy will set it all up for you right here in Australia.
