"I had a brilliant weekend at Lancelin surf camp!! This opportunity is ideal for anyone interested in learning to surf or perfecting their existing skills. The waves are great for beginners and intermediate students as they break slowly and don't crumble. All of the instructors were really friendly and keen to get you as hooked on surfing as they are! They'll give you individual tuition until you can catch waves on your own and when you do they'll be there to record it on camera. I was aching like crazy the following day, but we got back in the water and did it all again!! I would definitely recommend this trip to others, it was so much fun and deserted Lancelin is a great escape from the city."  Travellers' Vicky Boughton after her first surf camp.

A Quick History of Surfing in Australia:
In the beginning of the 1900's, it was prohibited for anyone to swim in the sea between 6:00 in the morning and 8:00 in the evening. Whoever breached the law was imprisoned and not seen well by the community. But as time passed, the law also lost its effect and 1901 was the year it officially became legal for people to swim at Australian Beaches outside of those hours.

By 1950 the first imported wood surfboards had arrived in Australia. They were copied and adapted for Australian style and materials. Australian surfboards became lighter than their American and Hawaii counterparts, smaller in size and weight. By the 60's the Surf explosion had started and by the 70's surfing was attracting multitudes to the beach, provoking a revolution and a new direction in the sport; becoming professional and profitable.
