1 to 4 hours
This is a two-hour small group surf lesson on the Great Ocean Road, based around Torquay and the Surf Coast. It’s aimed at people who want a proper intro to surfing with experienced, qualified coaches rather than just hiring a board and hoping for the best. All equipment is included, and the operators can choose from a range of permitted beaches to find the best surf conditions on the day.
Why backpackers love it
It keeps things straightforward: gear is included, you’re learning with a group, and the beach choice is based on the best available surf rather than a fixed spot. That makes it a solid option if you want to try surfing without organising equipment yourself. The showers and lockers are handy if you’re travelling light or heading somewhere afterwards.
You’ll join a small group session with a professional surf coach and get set up with all the gear you need. From there, the lesson runs for two hours at a Surf Coast location chosen for the day’s conditions, which gives you a better chance of learning in manageable surf. After the session, you can use the hot showers and lockers. Public transport is nearby, but you’ll need a moderate level of fitness, and it’s not recommended for travellers with poor cardiovascular health.
