About Great Ocean Road Surf Schools
Great Ocean Road Surf Schools delivers learn-to-surf programs at a string of the region's best beginner beaches, with Lorne among its flagship locations. Operating on the gentle, consistent waves of Loutit Bay, the school introduces thousands of first-time surfers each season to the basics of paddling, popping up and reading the surf in a safe, supervised setting.
Lessons run through the summer and school-holiday periods and include a full range of soft learn-to-surf boards, Gboards, bodyboards and wetsuits, all available for hire so guests can keep surfing after their session. Group lessons suit families and friends, while private coaching is offered for those wanting faster progression or a tailored experience, and every session is run by qualified, experienced instructors.
The school's focus on Lorne's protected bay makes it especially well suited to children and nervous beginners who want a calm first encounter with the ocean. With a long-standing presence on the Surf Coast and a fleet of beginner-friendly equipment, Great Ocean Road Surf Schools has become a go-to for visitors wanting to tick surfing off the list while exploring the coast.
