4. Australia is globally known for it’s spectacular beaches,
including Queensland’s extensive coastline, Sydney’s
beaches located a hop, skip and jump from the city, or
Western Australia’s naturally beautiful and unique
beaches.
It’s true that these Australian regions are hotspots that
are prime for attracting tourists, but we share with you
the worst-kept secret about the amazing things to do in
Adelaide – experiencing South Australia’s stunning
beaches by learning to surf on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
5. Fleurieu Peninsula beaches
The Fleurieu Peninsula, within an hour’s drive from
Central Adelaide, is geared up for visitors with wineries,
water activities and wildlife.

7. Surf Groms in a nutshell
Surf Groms is a National Development Program started by
Surfing Australia aimed at children aged 5-12 years.
Each lesson is 2 hours, so they’re perfect for kid’s
attention spans and burning off energy.
The progressive programs vary from 8-12 hours.
8. Why you should choose Surf & Sun
As an Australian company, we grew up at the beach! We
place importance on the ability to swim, and teach beach
and water safety.
Kids will gain an awareness of the ocean and
environment, and foster an appreciation for a healthy
lifestyle.

10. The beaches in this region showcase sheltered coves, to
secluded fishing spots on long rugged stretches of sand,
to swimming and surfing in sandy bays.
We break down 7 reasons why Surf & Sun are the best
people to teach you to surf in this region.
11. Recognised company
Surf & Sun aren’t mavericks – they are a licensed surf
school. They don’t just ‘talk the talk’, they live and
breathe promoting great activities in Fleurieu
Peninsula and in 2013, they were awarded ‘Best
Adventure Tourism’ business in South Australia.
12. Multiple South Australia locations
The great thing about travelling is having options to
match your needs.
Surf & Sun have recognized this concept, and
consequently they base their activities at multiple
locations including Middleton, Moana and (on request)
Goolwa.
13.
14. Moana is just 40 minutes from Adelaide; Middleton is 1.5
hours from Adelaide and the locations allow you to
discover other attractions on the way to learning how to
‘hang ten’.
Fleurieu Adventures, another local company, can help you
discover the attractions in this region as they are experts
at offering ideas. They rent body boards, surfboards,
stand up paddleboards, snorkel equipment, bikes – they
can even arrange a wine tour!
15. Daily lessons
Ever travelled halfway across the world to find that
specific museum you really wanted to visit is only open
once a week? Or that zip-line over the Amazon rainforest
only ‘zips’ into action three months of the year? It’s a
downer on anyone’s itinerary.
Luckily, Surf & Sun offers a solution for travellers with
flexible schedules by holding group surf lessons a
minimum of three times a day, every day of the year.
Sessions are at 9.30am, 12.30pm and 3pm, and if you pop
by in summer there are two extra sessions at 10.30am
and 2pm.
16. Appropriate gear and learning environment
Beginners often fall into the trap of trying to teach
themselves to surf and they buy cheap gear to get
themselves up and riding. It’s possible to learn to surf
yourself, but are you certain of how your second-hand
gear has been maintained and more importantly, is it safe
to use?
17. Surf & Sun takes all this hassle out of the equation by
providing you with quality equipment including a full Rip
Curl wetsuit, rash vest and soft surfboards so you can be
sure you have the right gear.
They teach lessons at beaches that are chosen for their
suitability for beginners, which saves you ending up on
the 6pm news because you have gone solo and chosen to
learn at a notoriously dangerous beach.
18. Expert instruction
All instructors are accredited surf coaches and many have
represented South Australia in surfing titles.
Instructors teach you about the basics that are important
to the process of learning to surf – standing up, falling off
safely etc.
There is a big emphasis on teaching about surf safety,
which is particularly important in Australia due to varying
beach and marine conditions including rip currents.
19. Customer Service and Discounts
Surf & Sun has little sweeteners for convincing your
friends to come along and learn to surf with you – if you
book 4 or more people, you will receive a 10% discount. If
you book 8 or more, you’ll get a 20% discount.
20. You can also buy a ‘Learn to Surf’ voucher for a birthday
or Christmas gift.
It’s simple to get in touch with them – via their website,
phone, email or you can connect with them on Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.
21. Give back to the community
AUD$1 from each person that goes through the surf
school is given back to a local community nursery, for the
purposes of replanting and revegetation along the
coastline. So, even if your attempts at surfing fail, the
environment has still benefited.
