Lets Talk About Learning to Surf at Anglesea
All levels of swimmers and beginner surfers can enjoy the Anglesea Surf Beach. In fact, it is one of the best places to learn to surf along the Great Ocean Road.
Our surf school specialises in daily, beginner surf lessons. Furthermore, group and private lessons are available on request. Our surfing lessons are all conducted in waist deep water, to keep it safe for beginners.
Anglesea learn to surf is run by Go Ride A Wave, Australia’s favourite surf school, established in 1987. Our shop is opposite the beach and is the closest shop to the beach. It is only a short walk to the beach or river for lessons and hire.
Anglesea learn to surf has a wide range of surf hire available, which includes a full range of soft learner Gboards.
We also have a full range of NSP hardboards designed for intermediate and advanced surfers. In addition, we also hire out wetsuits, stand up paddle boards, sit on top kayaks and bodyboards.
Anglesea is the home of Go Ride A Wave’s head office and is the place where Go Ride a Wave first started in 1987. Since then we have grown considerably and expanded into Torquay and then right along the Great Ocean Road.
We are now also in South East Queensland on the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast. Go Ride a Wave is not a franchise operation. It is a wholly company owned business which is still expanding to new locations.
PLEASE NOTE: Over summer all Stand Up Paddle board classes will meet at the river end of Agnes Lane.

Was the BEST Experience, both my 9 & 10 yr old boys begged me to come again 😂 they were quite good surprisingly. They managed to get up 6-7 times in a row there’s towards the end. It was cute, watching them Hi-Five each other…

Just had a lesson with Arthur this morning. I didn’t think I’d be able to get upright onto the board as I had failed miserably in a previous first lesson, but we did it…many times! Arthur was patient, kind and was very good with giving out tailored advice to both my partner…
