Stand Up! Stand Up!

Agnes Water has been a ‘learn to surf destination’ with international tourists for many decades. It’s the northern-most point break on the east coast of Australia and conditions here are almost always perfect for learners. The swell tends to be wind swell rather than ocean swell, which is less powerful and therefore less intimidating for beginners and Agnes is famous for its ‘fun little waves’.

The other reason it’s such a popular place to learn to surf is Wayne (Grom) Mellick at Reef 2 Beach Surf Shop. Grom’s classes are some of the cheapest on the east coast with a 3-hour lesson costing only $25.

Grom lines them up with military precision and it’s easy to see how his team has managed to teach more than 100,000 people to surf with his tried and tested techniques. His voice booms over the waves “paddle, paddle, paddle… stand up, stand up!” and forms part of the fabric of life on the beach all year round. His classes are great value for money and loads of fun.

If you want to “Stand Up!” then grab some surf lessons with Grom while you’re at the Beach Club.
