Meet with other aspiring surfers for a lesson and a snack after at a local sandwich shop. We are a group of active and outdoorsy people in their 20s-30s who didn't have a luxury to learn to surf in their teens but are committed to doing it now! Every Saturday we go to Mornington Peninsula or Phillips Island beaches, depending on where the wave conditions are the best for beginners.

We arrange group lessons with very experienced surfing instructors from Mornington Peninsula Surfing School and the Island Surfing School. Remember, the schools need to arrange their instructor staff in advance, so it's essential to RSVP by Thursday night to secure your place on Saturday.

The cost for a lesson is $44 to $55 depending on which school we use, paid directly to the school. Included in price is a warm wetsuit and a learners surf board rental. Bring bathers, a towel, a sunscreen and a big smile :)

After five or six lessons this group will continue as a fun way to get together with surfing friends of similar ability and skill level. We are committed to get seriously into the (non-competitive) sport by focusing on skill progression and friendly attitude of all members!

Warning: surfing can be dangerous and you are responsible for your own safety! We are a social group, not a sports school or a club, that's why we rely on experienced and licensed surf schools.
