The Fleurieu Peninsula is a destination to consider particularly for its beaches. Those located on the south coast are usually found in small coves protected by granite boulders. Whether for swimming or surfing, the conditions are ideal. In Middleton, we took a surfing lesson with Dan from South Coast Surf Academy. After receiving a very informative course on water safety and the formation of waves, it was time to get down to the finer details of the art of surfing. Even if the ocean is cold at this time of year, they supply full length wetsuits to keep you warm once thrown into the deep end. Each student moves at their own pace to successfully find the right wave and stand up on the board. If you need a helping hand to propel you, the instructor is never far away. A priceless moment that definitely leaves you wanting more!
