Howdy all,

So I bought a SUP and need someone to teach me basics etc

I live in Macksville and was hoping to learn at South West Rocks or Nambucca and anywhere in between that is fairly flat.

If anyone has experience, lives in and around those areas and wants to make some coin, let me know.

Cheers

Kylie

If you're at Macksville, head to Scotts, pretty flat at the boat ramp area and not a bad wave to learn on. Friendly bunch that SUP there too.

look I'm not cheap,but ill do it this once.
first up you're looking at $150 per day ,yep i know thats a lot,but if you pay peanuts you'll get monkeys …...thats for a full1/2 day.
ill walk you through it.
first up if we meet at the pub where you can buy me lunch a few beers, then i will unleash a plethora of surfing knowledge
then you can ask a few questions while we drink.
next you head across the road and paddle for two hours,there i can supervise from the veranda of the hotel.
then back for happy hour few more drinks "your buy" a debriefing and a complementary beer coster.

Hi dicey .
you can check out YouTube footage .
and teach yourself .the best learning you can do is hit the water everyday for two weeks .
Good luck and enjoy .and welcome to the life of SUPing .
