Surfing

Instructors from Sea, Earth and West Coast Adventure take students through two
learn-to-surf sessions at Anglesea main beach or Urquharts Bluff. Students are instructed on the finer points of surfing, helping them develop their skills over the two lessons.

The activity is Challenge by Choice giving participants freedom to step into their own challenges with the encouragement of the group.

Initiative

Challenge

Students participate in a number of team building activities deisgned for all students to show their strengths to solve the problems.

Skateboarding

Students are taught the basics of skating, progressing from sitting on the board to standing and rolling on the Im fun box. There is quick progression through multiple stages to get participants to attain confidence to challenge the ramps. Students are provided with safety equipment.

Vertical

Challenge

Participants climb through a series of elements whilst attached to a harness. This is a challenge by choice activity where participants set themselves a goal from the ground to the top, eighteen meters high.
