Gerringong Surf School

Founded by former professional big-wave surfer Rusty Moran, this Gerringong school pairs learn-to-surf lessons with skateboarding and a strong focus on wellbeing. Beyond group and private sessions, holiday programs and after-school groups, it runs surf therapy supporting mental health and PTSD, and works with NDIS participants. Equipment hire and gift vouchers are available, and the school points to hundreds of five-star reviews from its stretch of the Kiama coast.
