Program Details
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
6 x 2-hour surf lessons with a qualified & experienced surf instructor, running across six consecutive weeks. These lessons will be progressive and dive into practical surfing skills, ocean awareness, mindset tools, and so much more.
We'll provide you with a wetsuit, surfboard, and sunscreen for all lessons (you are welcome to use your own if you would prefer to).
LOCATION
We want to make sure you get the most from your sessions, so we choose the beach with the best conditions on the day. You'll receive a message between 4pm-5pm the night before each session with instructions on where to meet us. We have permits to operate at several beaches along the Great Ocean Road, so lessons may be held anywhere between Torquay and Urquharts Bluff.
ADULTS ONLY
All our lessons are for adults only, and all participants must be 18 years or older at the time of their first lesson.
Level 1A - Complete Beginners
This course is for complete beginners and those who haven't tried surfing before, or for those who want to start their course in the white water waves. We'll be going through all the basics of ocean safety, paddling and standing on your board, and learning to read the waves.
Our goal by the end of the program will be to have you standing and starting to turn on your board, and maybe even starting to try for unbroken waves.
Max. 8 students per class with one instructor.
Mondays at 10am, starting June 22nd 2026 for 6 consecutive weeks with Joëlle.
Saturdays at 11:30am, starting June 27th 2026 for 6 consecutive weeks with Becks.
$480 AUD
Level 1B - Paddle Out
This course is for people who have already done a couple of lessons or some surfing before. Perfect if you've figure out how to stand in the whitewash and are ready to learn how to progress into the unbroken waves!
We’ll be learning board control techniques for paddling out, surf etiquette, and how to position for the unbroken waves and angle our take offs.
Max. 8 students per class with one instructor.
Saturdays at 9am, starting June 27th 2026 for 6 consecutive weeks with Becks.

Level 2A - Nurture
This program is for surfers who know how to paddle out the back but who still feel a little nervous or overwhelmed in unbroken waves.
We'll focus on building confidence, nurturing the nervous system, and creating a positive experience in smaller 1-2ft waves. By the end of the program, our aim is to have you feeling calm, comfortable, and excited about surfing out the back.
Max. 8 students per class with one instructor.

Level 2B - Push
For surfers who are confident in small unbroken waves (1-2ft) and ready to progress, this program is all about refining your technique and pushing your skills further.
With a focus on positioning, wave selection, and building strong foundations, we'll help you start tackling slightly bigger or steeper wave faces with confidence, and start moving towards more advanced manoeuvres.

“I did the 6 Week Winter Waves program for complete beginners on Saturday mornings. Don't let the winter weather put you off, when you're in a wetsuit you don't feel the cold - Honi Honu supply them and surfboards or you can bring your own. Becks is a great instructor and the locations are picturesque. The 2-hour lesson duration is perfect and our group was surfing waves from the first lesson. This was just the motivation I needed to get out there and become a regular surfer. ”
