BEACH ACTIVITIES
SURFING Surfing has become a very popular water activity that people of all ages can enjoy - some participants have no experience in the surf and some have never been to the beach before. Those who already have surfing experience, will be shown how to build on their skill level to gain even more enjoyment! The activity includes instruction in paddling, wave catching, various prone to feet methods, surfboard design and surf safety. Your Total Adventures instructor will talk through the lesson, encouraging questions and constantly reinforcing what it’s all about, having fun! It is expected that even beginners will come away with the memory of that first wave “on their own” and this will last forever!
BODY BOARDING Body boarding is an activity that anyone can try irrespective of age or ability level and is ideal for those first timers who would like to experience the thrills of catching and riding waves! With this ‘no experience necessary’ lesson, all participants have a fantastic time in the waves. The instructor covers all the basics of using a body board as well as how to maneuver the board through the waves, after which participants get to practice on the boards provided. Once participants are confident with the basics, the instructor teaches simple tricks and more advanced skills that can be picked up very quickly and put into practice.
SURF AWARENESS A lot of beginners get a board and go out and get hurt due to lack of basic knowledge. Through a surf awareness activity participants are given an indepth talk on surf conditions and surf safety, how to identify potential risks before entering the water and how to deal with a situation once a swimmer has entered the water. The session includes topics such as surf equipment selection, safe use of equipment, oceanography, identifying dangerous situations and board rescues.
SNORKELING Snorkeling allows participants to experience the ocean and marine life from a unique perspective. We snorkel in the calm protected waters of Noosa which are abundant in marine life. Under the close supervision of our instructors, participants as young as eight have the opportunity to appreciate the wonder and variety of the sea in a beautiful and safe setting. We combine basic skills with fun activities and underwater games. The goal of this activity is to safely introduce participants into snorkeling, in an environment that promotes self confidence, fun and learning. Take the plunge into an underwater world filled with adventure, excitement and beauty.
BEACH GAMES Beach games are fun filled team competitions where participants get involved in games often involving eggs, flour and lots of getting wet! Hula hoops, balls, bats and ropes often play a big part in this enjoyable event.
SURF CARNIVAL Surf carnivals involve the whole group with each of the events being similar to those of a real competition. Sea craft such as surf ski’s and sea kayaks are used with the right surf conditions permitting. The activity is carried out on a patrolled beach and monitored by a life guard.
