As part of our commitment to continually improving the experience here at The Wave, we’ve made an exciting update: the Waikiki Wave has recently been replaced by a brand-new wave called Improver.
This new session type is designed with the same goal in mind — to offer a smooth, accessible progression for those ready to move on from the white water of Beginner Bay and begin tackling unbroken waves in the deeper "Reef" section of our lake.
Why We’ve Made the Change
The Improver Wave is a real step forward in helping surfers build skills with more confidence. Unlike the Waikiki Wave, the Improver breaks in a way that much more closely resembles a real ocean wave — and it mirrors the characteristics of our Intermediate Wave. This means the skills and techniques you develop in the Improver session will translate more effectively as you step up to the Intermediate level.
What to Expect
-
Wave Height: Around 50cm
-
Shape: A gentle take-off followed by a mellow, unbroken face
-
Focus: Start practising your first smooth turns and build confidence in green waves
We believe this new wave will help surfers feel more prepared and better supported as they advance through their surfing journey.
