Go Surf Perth

Last updated April 2026

At Go Surf Perth in Scarborough, kids don’t just learn to surf, they ride waves with confidence while giggling in the salty breeze. This vibrant beachside hub turns beginner surfers into ocean explorers with gentle, sandy-bottom waves perfect for first-timers. Scarborough’s iconic white sand and turquoise water set the stage for lessons that feel more like play than practice. Parents love the early morning sessions when the beach is quiet and the energy is high. It’s one of those rare Scarborough activities that keeps kids smiling for hours after they’ve wiped out — and begging to go back. **What to Bring** Wear a full-length rash vest or surf top under the wetsuit to prevent chafing. Pack a towel, a change of clothes, and a water bottle. Slip on a wide-brim hat and slip-slop-slap before you leave the house. Sunscreen must be reef-safe and waterproof. Don’t forget a dry bag for phones and wallets. **Best Age Range** Designed for kids aged 5 to 15 years old. Younger siblings can join parents on the beach for free, but active toddlers need constant supervision in the sand zone. **Good to Know** Lessons run rain or shine, but strong winds or big swells may see sessions moved to calmer conditions. Book online at least a day ahead — spots fill fast during school holidays. Parking is free but fills by 9am on weekends. Bring $10 for the coffee van by the carpark after your session. **Nearby** Visit the playground at Star Swamp Reserve in North Beach after your lesson. Grab a family-friendly bite at The Ship Inn in Scarborough just five minutes away. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early to check in and watch the safety briefing. Go for the first lesson of the day — kids are fresher and the beach is calmer. Bring a spare set of clothes; everyone ends up soaked no matter the weather.
