About

Front Beach Surf Hire began in Point Lonsdale in 2018, with a vision of sharing founder Shayleigh Chapman’s love of surfing with visitors and locals alike.

An avid surfer herself, Shayleigh’s list of accolades includes winning the Victorian Titles at Bells Beach, along with numerous podium finishes in state rounds. As a junior she was part of the trio that took out second place in the Australian School Titles Team event. Shayleigh has also won the Point Lonsdale Boardriders Club’s club titles eight times and the club’s marquee event, the Greg Davo nine times.

The hours-upon-hours Shayleigh has spent catching waves ensure that her knowledge of the local surf breaks is second-to-none. At Front Beach Surf Hire, she will willingly offer tips and advice to provide you with the best possible surf experience.

Shayleigh’s specialty is matching the right board to the current conditions, offering fun-filled sessions for surfers of any ability – from first timers to the more advanced.
