Lesson layout

  • Once you arrive someone from our wonderful team will give you a warm welcome to Alive Adventures and check you into our booking system.
  • You will then be fitted into one of our toasty winter wetsuits and given an Alive Adventure vest to wear on top (FYI – the zip goes at the back).
  • Once the lesson starts our lead instructor will give you a friendly introduction to the team taking you out and delivering a private safety talk as well as an assessment of the surfing conditions.
  • Our team will then invite you to a short but lively warm-up on Portrush’s stunning West Bay Beach.
  • Once you’re warmed up and received your board our lead instructor will provide an expertly tailored and broken-down tuition onboard handling, finding your sweet spot, prone riding and so much more.
  • You will then continue the majority of your lesson in the ocean putting words into action with continual tuition from our team.
  • We promise you’ll have a brilliant laugh and lots of memories! But be warned, surfing is extremely addictive! Parents and guardians watch out! Your child may be asking Santa for a new surfboard next Christmas.
