The Experience

Settle into a proper Aussie surf camp just a short stroll from the beach and spend three days learning the ropes in warm, supportive company. This experience is built for absolute beginners, but confident surfers are welcome too — with progressive lessons each day, you’ll work on paddling, popping up, dropping in and riding across the waves at a pace that feels natural.

Between sessions, you’ll live the easy coastal lifestyle: share meals, swap stories with your instructors, and unwind in laid-back camp surrounds with a pool, hammocks, hot showers and plenty of space to relax. Your board, wetsuit and sunscreen are all sorted, so you can focus on the good stuff — salt on your skin, sandy feet and that first proper ride. If you’ve been keen to give surfing a go in a relaxed, fun setting, this is a brilliant place to start. Pack your sense of adventure and get ready to fall into the rhythm of camp life.

Know before you go: - Arrive at Wake Up Hostel Sydney by 8.45am for a 9.00am bus departure if you’re using the included transport. - Self-drive guests should plan to arrive at the camp around 11.30am. - Rooms are shared dorm-style accommodation with 6–7 berths unless you request a private or double room when booking. - Train transport may be used in shoulder seasons, so check your confirmation details before departure. - If you have dietary requirements beyond vegetarian or vegan, let the team know before you book. - Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, a water bottle and comfortable clothes for camp life.
