“DON’T LET YOUR LACK OF CONFIDENCE GET IN THE WAY OF THE WAVE OF YOUR LIFE.”

Since 1994, our Surf School has been regarded as one of the most established and well respected in the country. It has produced Championship Tour level surfers, Big Wave madmen, International contest judges, State Champions, and much more. With our team of coaches being some of the most experienced and skilful in Victoria, we are pleased to offer a surfing experience like no other.

Our records show that 99% of students who choose us will stand up on a surfboard in their first lesson. With nearly 30 years of surf coaching under our belt, we have developed a unique system that not only gets people up on their feet in their first attempt, but also educates our clients on general surf awareness and beach safety.

The knowledge, skills and techniques that are gained from our lessons are ones that will last a lifetime.
