public and private lessons
PUBLIC LESSONS
Our public surf lessons are a great way for the whole family to get started, build confidence and enjoy the ocean in a relaxed, supportive environment. With a high coach-to-student ratio, you'll get plenty of guidance, time in the water and the opportunity to find your feet on a board.
Public lessons run over school holidays and peak times.

Children aged 8 & 9 must have a non-surfing parent in the water for the full session, with the parent responsible for their safety and supervision.
GOOD TO KNOW
Wetsuits are not provided, so please bring your own if you'd like to wear one. Wetsuit hire is available from local surf shops on Phillip Island.
Soft beginner boards are provided for public group lessons to help maintain a safe learning environment. If you'd prefer to use your own hardboard, our private lessons and women's sessions may be a better fit.

Whether you're new to surfing or looking to take your skills to the next level, our private lessons offer a more personalised approach, with coaching tailored to your experience, goals and confidence in the water. Enjoy focused time in the ocean, with the freedom to work on your surfing at your own pace.
