Choosing a Day Out on the Water

All three water sports operators on the Surf Coast are based in Torquay, but their sessions reach well beyond its main beach. Southern Exposure picks a beach on the morning to suit conditions, often at Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne or Ocean Grove, and SeaEarth Adventures paddles kayaks on calmer water such as the Anglesea and Barwon rivers.

Matching the operator to the activity:

Learn to surf: all three teach beginners, and Southern Exposure starts from $85 per person with gear included.
Kayaking: SeaEarth Adventures leads sit-on-top kayak tours of two hours, and Go Ride A Wave Torquay folds kayaking into its group programs.
Beach games: Go Ride A Wave Torquay, based on Bell Street, runs a Beach Olympics, Surf Carnival and Raft Regatta to suit a party that wants competition over coaching.
Land and water mixes: SeaEarth Adventures adds mountain biking, abseiling and raft building to corporate days.
Big groups: Southern Exposure takes up to 50, split into crews.

Southern Exposure chooses the beach on the day, so expect the meeting point to be confirmed close to the session.
SeaEarth Adventures' surf groups meet at the beach trailers 15 minutes before the start, with swimwear and a towel.
Groups surfing with the Bell Street school can use its showers and change rooms afterwards.
Ask each operator how a booking is handled if the sea is too rough.
