What is Provided
Our equipment is the best available on the market and produced specifically for Surf Schools. We use soft, stable boards that are easy to balance, paddle, stand and surf on for beginners. Warm full length wetsuits are available if you want to wear one but you will be exercising above the water so most of the time over summer you won't need one. We will provide you with a coloured rash vest so we can easily identify participants in the water. We also have life vests available. There are no bathrooms at this location.
Location
We bring to you! We hire paddle boards at the sheltered corner of East Beach. Please meet on the beach at the end of Battery Lane, the protected area of Port Fairy's Little East Beach near the rock wall.
