Three Torquay operators take groups into the surf, each with its own angle. Go Ride A Wave Torquay works from a Bell Street shop with showers and change rooms, SeaEarth Adventures mixes surfing with kayaking and land challenges, and Southern Exposure runs coached two-hour lessons from a trailer on the sand.

  • Go Ride A Wave Torquay offers surfing, bodyboarding, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, Beach Olympics, a Surf Carnival and a Raft Regatta for birthday, hens, bucks and work groups.
  • SeaEarth Adventures needs at least four people for a group session and runs two-hour sit-on-top kayak tours alongside its surf lessons.
