Womens Advanced Beginner Program
This program is perfect if you’ve had previous surfing experience and you are ready to build confidence & skills to take you to the next level.
This program is for you if you’re:
- Confident catching whitewash waves on your own
- Ready to progress to green/unbroken waves
- Happy surfing whitewash when that’s all that’s on offer
- Ready to paddle out the back when conditions are suitable
At Girls on Board, we believe surfing is more than a sport, it’s a lifestyle! Our women’s surf programs are a fun, supportive way to learn or improve your skills, stay active, and connect with like-minded women. Founder Jess Laing, a Phillip Island local with 30+ years’ surf experience, leads a team of Surfing Australia Certified female coaches passionate about sharing their love of the ocean.
Programs run on the same day each week and cover surf safety, board handling, and technique—no experience needed. Expect small groups, plenty of fun, new friends, and more confidence in the waves. You’ll also get access to our private Surf Community Whatsapp group for extra connection and support. Programs are for females aged 18+.

Missed a Session?
Participants are invited to join a private WhatsApp group, where you can arrange session swaps with others in your program. If you are enrolled in an 8-week program, any missed sessions must be made up at any stage within your 8-week program period. Likewise, if you are enrolled in a 10-week program, all make-up sessions must be completed within your 10-week program period.
If any additional spots become available throughout the program, we’ll post them in the WhatsApp group. While we’ll do our best to help accommodate missed sessions, make-up sessions cannot be guaranteed and cannot be carried over beyond the end of your program. More information will be provided after booking.
🌊 Surf School Policies
Weather & Conditions
We surf in all weather - rain, hail, or shine - as long as it’s safe to do so!
If the surf is too big, completely flat, or unsafe due to things like strong winds or lightning, we’ll move your lesson to the tentative replacement session listed in the itinerary.
Program Cancellations
- If you need to cancel your spot in the multi-week program, we ask for at least 2 weeks’ notice before the start date.
- With this notice, you’ll receive a 50% refund of your total payment.
- Unfortunately, cancellations made with less than 2 weeks’ notice mean we can’t provide a refund.
- However, If we’re able to fill your spot, we’ll happily give you a full refund.
