During peak season, from boxing day till Australia Day, we run lessons everyday at 9:30am to avoid the afternoon crowd (10:30am for a sleep in on new years day)
Every other day of the year we run them at varying times, according to the best conditions of the particular day. Please see the calendar on the top right to see the lesson time available on your preferred day.
Please note that we do require a minimum of three people to run a group session. If we only have 1 or two people book in then they have the option if swapping to another day or upgrading to a private lesson.
All participants meet at the Island Surfboards Surf Shop at Smiths Beach (100m up from the beach) between 20-30 minutes prior to the start of the lesson.
Participants will be fitted out with wetsuits and surfboards then walk the short distance to the beach to commence the session.
The surf shop has facilities such as changerooms, a shower and a general store next door.
We are located at 225 Smiths Beach Rd, Smiths Beach, Phillip Island, Victoria, 3922.
