East Coast Surf School

Operating for more than thirty years on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, this school runs ninety-minute learn-to-surf lessons mainly at Point Leo, covering skills, water safety and surf etiquette. Boards and wetsuits are part of the session, and the outfit holds ASI Surf Platinum accreditation. The peninsula's mellow reef and beach breaks make a steady classroom for beginners easing into cooler Bass Strait water.
