It is true that many surf hotspots (often secret!) dot the whole of South Australia. There are breaks to suit beginners to advanced surfers. If you’re a beginner and wondering how to get into surfing in South Australia, or if you are on the lookout for top fun things to do in Adelaide, then this is for you!
The Fleurieu Peninsula, around an hour by car from Central Adelaide, is primed for visitors and tourists with water activities, wineries, and beach holidays.
Beach lovers can look forward to secluded coves, sheltered fishing spots, to swimming in sandy bays.
Enter into the picture Surf & Sun, a licensed surf school that has been awarded the ‘Best Adventure Tourism’ business for the whole region of South Australia. Surf & Sun bases surfing lessons in the beginner-friendly breaks of Middleton and Moana. Every surfing novice must not pass up the chance to learn how to ‘hang ten’ in these much sought-after surf breaks.
In terms of schedule, Surf & Sun offers travelers with adjustable schedules, such as group surf lessons at least twice a day. Summer days have two extra sessions added. The surfing instructors at Surf & Sun enable you to have solid fundamentals in surfing. But their most important highlight is teaching surf safety, which is a critical detail in Australia’s diverse and sometimes surprising sea conditions.
As for beginners wondering if they can save more by buying cheap surf gear and finding a way to get learn surfing on one’s own. It is somewhat possible to learn by yourself, but then again Surf & Sun will save you time and effort. Aside from the lessons, Surf & Sun will provide you with quality equipment, such as a full wetsuit, and soft surfboards. And certainly not the last to be mentioned is Surf & Sun’s discounts and birthday or Christmas gift vouchers!
