About Surf Sessions
Surf Sessions is a surf coaching school working the beaches around Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads, from first-timers through to surfers chasing competition results. Its coaches are local surfers who know the sandbanks and reefs of this stretch of coast, and they adjust each lesson to the level of the people in the water. Beginner lessons cover safety in the surf, how to read the conditions, paddling, finding your place in the line-up, catching a wave and standing up to ride it to the beach. Boards, wetsuits, leg ropes and sunscreen are all supplied at the Surf Sessions trailer, so guests need only swimwear and a towel. Surfers meet ten minutes before the lesson, and the school gets in touch if the conditions are better at another beach. For groups, Surf Sessions runs dedicated sessions for social groups, corporate teams and schools, timed to suit. The usual base is the grassed area beside the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club, with RAAF's Beach, sheltered by the Barwon Heads bluff, and the long, gentle waves of the Bridge Beach used when they work better. Private lessons for up to four people suit a small group wanting more attention.

The pricing page lists a group lesson at $65, and private lessons from $110 for one hour with $45 for each extra person, up to four people. Larger social and corporate groups are quoted when they enquire.
