Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our instructor was Joel and he was excellent. This was a first time experience for both myself and my friend and we had a great time. Joel was patient, helpful and shared many stories of his experiences with this activity. Even before we commenced our SUP all of the staff we encountered in the shop/office were friendly and couldn't assist us enough.
I highly recommend the Go Ride a Wave staff, especially Joel and this activity.

This was the best day out!! We did a private lesson as a family (2 adults, kids 11 and 13). Joel was so incredibly reassuring and welcoming, made everything seem so achievable and ensured we all had success. Great facilities, lovely staff. We had heaps of fun and would def go again. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience for three German exchange students. The instructor was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, making the whole session really fun. It was a bucket list item ticked off for these boys.

Had an amazing couple of hours of learning at Anglesea this weekend. Zander was full of energy and was really detailed in his instructions and tips. Highly recommend Go Ride A Wave and Zander as an instructor. Planning on coming back to learn with them until I'm good to go by myself

We booked the 3days lesson package for our children and myself. We were all starting from scratch and managed after the course to stand on the board and surf our first waves.
Very friendly team, very well organised, cleaned facilities with warm shower and well maintained equipment.

We love Go Ride a Wave at Anglesea, always have. But I need to call out how wonderful my son’s last two classes have been. Both Etienne and Alex were nothing short of amazing, going out of their way to ensure my son not only had fun but improved his surfing technique. Alex even took us to a different beach today so my son could practice catching green waves. Thank you Go Ride a Wave, you are a special part of our family and a reason why we enjoy going down the coast so frequently.

Stand up Paddleboarding - my kids were the only one in their class and had a ball! Nice safe river area without being boring.
I have told my kids that if they get their swimming skills up a fair bit, next year I'll buy them surfing lessons (it's incentive, not bribary!).

Thanks so much for the great review! Glad to hear the kids had a ball on the SUP lesson, and the river was good too. Keep them swimming, and I'd recommend a few tries on a bodyboard if they haven't done much of that; and, for them to practice putting their heads under waves. If they are comfortable with both of those they should be ready to try surfing! Hope to see you in the water soon!

Fantastic experience, hosted by great instructors who go out of their way to get you upright on a wave! Highly recommended, but do the full 3xlession surf course! You will not regret it!
