Island Surfboards Surf School

The Island Surfboards surf school is based at Smiths Beach on Phillip Island, a beach the school describes as home to the most beginner-friendly waves in Victoria. It counts among the longest-established surf schools in the country.

It caters for first-timers through to experienced surfers, with group, private, school and corporate lessons, and can take up to 65 people at once. It also runs performance coaching, and the nearby shop hires softboards.

The school belongs to Island Surfboards, a surfboard maker based in Cowes since 1969.

Open daily 9am to 5pm (call for winter hours).
