Surf schools

First time in the ocean or surf fanatic? Improve your board skills this summer at an accredited surf school in Sydney. No matter if you're an inexperienced adult surfer, a 17-year-old or five-year-old, you'll find a course to suit your age group and skill level. Why not try stand-up paddle boarding in flat water or the surf or book the kids in to a school holiday program for a summer of fun?

Sydney now has four beaches that are recognised as national surfing reserves - Manly and North Narrabeen, Cronulla and Maroubra. You too can take advantage of the great waves in Sydney and if you can't already glide along the water on a board, learn how to surf an accredited surf school at one of Sydney's favourite beaches. It's a quintessentially Sydney thing to do. 

Manly Surf School Hire has been teaching surfing lessons to all levels of experience since 1983. Neighbouring beach, Freshwater to the north is known as the birthplace of Australian surfing so what better place to learn.

Some of the best displays of surf skills are seen by watching the surf lifesavers practice so watch the ocean in front a surf lifesaving club or on Sundays join the locals as their kids learn the basics of having fun in a safe beach environment at nippers or junior lifesaving.
