Womens Surfing Program
At Girls on Board, we believe surfing is more than a sport - it’s a lifestyle. Our women’s programs are perfect for getting into surfing or improving your skills while staying active and having fun with like-minded women. All sessions are run by expert female Surfing Australia Certified coaches, who bring extensive ocean experience and a passion for the waves.
We meet once a week for a set number of weeks, focusing on surf safety, board handling, and correct technique to help you gain confidence and take your surfing to the next level. Groups are small to ensure personalised coaching, and participants gain exclusive access to the Girls On Board Surf Community private group chat to connect with fellow surfers.
