2-Hour Surf Lesson in Torquay

1 to 4 hours

Overview

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.

What to expect

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.
