Adult Intermediate, Advanced & Elite Training
Manly Surf School offers adult intermediate, advanced, and elite surf training exclusively through private lessons, providing fully individualised coaching tailored to each surfer.
All adult sessions are private only, with a minimum duration of 1.5 hours, allowing time for focused coaching, real-time feedback, and meaningful progression in the water. Sessions can be customised to suit personal preference, with the instructor either filming from the beach for detailed video analysis or surfing in the water alongside you to provide hands-on technical coaching.
Training focuses on surf technique, wave selection, positioning, paddling efficiency, manoeuvre execution, and decision-making in real conditions, with the option to include advanced performance refinement where appropriate.
Pricing: $180 (1.5hr minimum, private session)
This private format is ideal for adult surfers seeking personalised attention, flexible scheduling, and a high-level coaching experience aligned with their individual goals.
