  • 5Positive first surf lesson

    Had a great time on our Surf lesson with Oscar. Ended up being a private lesson with just my friend and I as it was a 10am session on a public holiday (November 2025.) The 2hrs felt generous as a learner and a positive atmosphere overall. They have hot showers we used afterwards and change rooms/lockers. Would highly recommend!

  • 5The absolute best!!

    Our group had an amazing experience at Torquay Surfing Academy. We brought a large group with a variety of physical abilities and from beginning to end we were treated with incredible patience and kindness. I’ve previously used a number of different surf schools for our group and I will never again go anywhere else.

About Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road follows Victoria's south-west coast for about 240 kilometres, past surf beaches, rainforest and the Twelve Apostles.

Returned soldiers built the road between 1919 and 1932 as a memorial to those killed in the First World War. It begins near Torquay, where Bells Beach is one of Australia's famous surf breaks, and ends near Warrnambool, clinging to cliffs above the Southern Ocean and dropping into seaside towns such as Lorne and Apollo Bay.
