Scarborough Beach Surf School - water sports in Perth

Scarborough Beach Surf School (Scarborough)5.0 (532)

From $60pp

Beginners and surfers who already stand up can both join, since classes are split by ability and boards are matched to each level.

Choosing a Day Out on the Water

On the Northern Beaches the listed water sport is surfing, taught by Scarborough Beach Surf School out of a van and trailer near Manning Street in Scarborough. The family-run school has been coaching since 1986, and its instructors are in the water beside every surfer.

For a Northern Beaches group, the school offers:

A private session of an hour and a half, for as many as eight people from age 10, led by one coach.
Small classes of three to six, sorted by ability, open to adults and to teenagers 13 and up.
Corporate packages for workplaces.
Board and wetsuit hire built into the price, with bags locked away during the lesson.
Prices from $60 per person.

Season matters here: the school teaches at Leighton Beach from June to September, as its winter waves suit learners better, so a winter booking won't be at Scarborough.

Complete beginners and surfers already riding green waves are both catered for.
A family whose youngest is at least 10 can book a session of its own.
Workmates can arrange a corporate package or a private lesson for up to eight.
Groups of mixed ability get sorted into levels in the classes.

Before booking a Northern Beaches surf session

Expect an early start; mornings are when the school teaches, for the lighter winds.
Give 24 hours notice if plans change, as that's the cancellation window.
Check whether your date falls in the June to September Leighton Beach season.
Ask whether the group would get more from a private lesson or from joining classes.
