A New Adventure on the Bellarine Peninsula

As a seasoned surfer, I’ve spent countless hours chasing the perfect wave across Central America. But when I heard about the Ocean Grove Surfing Lessons on the Bellarine Peninsula, I couldn’t resist the allure of a new adventure. The idea of experiencing a beginner’s course, even as a professional, intrigued me. After all, every wave has its own story, and I was eager to hear what the waves of Ocean Grove had to say.

Arriving at Surf Beach Road, I was greeted by the friendly instructors who exuded a passion for teaching. They handed me a full-length wetsuit and a soft beginner surfboard, and we made our way to the beach. The sun was shining, the waves were inviting, and the atmosphere was electric with anticipation. The instructors began with a safety briefing and some basic instructions, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and ready to dive into the ocean’s embrace.

Embracing the Beginner’s Mindset

Stepping into the waist-deep water, I felt a familiar thrill. The ocean’s energy was palpable, and I was reminded of why I fell in love with surfing in the first place. As we paddled out, the instructors were attentive, offering guidance and encouragement to each participant. It was refreshing to see their dedication to helping everyone catch their first wave.

Despite my experience, I embraced the beginner’s mindset, focusing on the fundamentals and enjoying the simplicity of the moment. The instructors’ enthusiasm was contagious, and I found myself cheering alongside them as fellow surfers stood up for the first time. It was a beautiful reminder of the joy that surfing brings, regardless of skill level.

Riding the Waves of Ocean Grove

As the lesson progressed, we returned to the beach for more detailed instruction on standing up on the surfboard. The instructors demonstrated with ease, breaking down the steps in a way that was easy to understand. With renewed confidence, we headed back into the water, eager to put our newfound knowledge to the test.

The remainder of the lesson was spent catching waves, with the instructors by our side, offering tips and encouragement. The feeling of standing up and riding a wave, even on a beginner board, was exhilarating. It was a reminder that the ocean is a playground for all, and there’s always something new to learn.

As the lesson came to an end, we returned to the trailer with our boards and wetsuits, our hearts full of gratitude for the experience. The Ocean Grove Surfing Lessons had not only provided an opportunity to hone my skills but also reignited my passion for sharing the stoke of surfing with others.
