Bodyboarding
Find out just how easy body boarding really is and how much fun it can be. Body boarding is a great introduction to the ocean, building on water confidence. Body boarding is great for primary school and early secondary age students.
Your students will be fitted out in quality wetsuits all year round in Victoria and during winter in Queensland, making this an all year round experience.
Group discounts are available for groups larger than 8.
We offer programs at numerous locations. Most of our beaches can cater for groups up to 50 at one time. To ensure we can cater for all groups we have over 800 wetsuits and 75 quality body boards. For groups with larger numbers we can offer a mixture of activities at several different locations to ensure everybody is doing something.
We train our staff with above industry standard of qualifications so you can rest assured your group is being well looked after. Safety, then fun is our priority. Body boarding ratios are also 1:7 ie 1 instructor to maximum of 7 participants. Group leaders are free (within reason).

Surf Safety Training
Not everyone’s familiar with the beach environment making Go Ride a Wave’s surf safety lessons a must. Our expert staff teach water safety, ocean awareness and surf life saving techniques.
Students will walk away at the end of the session with a better appreciation of our environment and a better understanding of how to look after themselves and others at the beach.
We provide in-depth information about rips, currents, board and tube rescues, how to safely enter and exit the surf, and the importance of body surfing.
These sessions are an excellent lead-in to any of our programs and many schools use this as their first camp activity and to build students’ confidence.
