In 1997 Mick Sheehan established Southern Exposure Eco-Adventure Sports, the first Eco-adventure company on the Great Ocean Road to specialise in Learn to Surf Programs, Guided Mountain Biking Tours and Surf Kayaking. Southern Exposure has set out to promote this sublimely beautiful environment with an ethos of sustainability, safety and education.
This year Southern Exposure will organise Adventure Education & Nature Based Tourism Programs for more than 15,000 clients from Australia and internationally.
We are one of the few Surf Schools to be granted Licenses to operate activities along the Great Ocean Road and the Surf Coast and we recognise our role as suppliers of Eco-adventure activities in the areas as a privilege.
We respect cultural heritage and have sort advice from the Wathaurong Clan; the original owners of this land.
All Surf School, Mountain Biking and Sea Kayak Activities operated by Southern Exposure comply with the Department of Education, Employment and Training’s Safety Guidelines: Swimming Based Activities and the “Outdoor Recreation Centre Inc” – Adventure Activity Standards.
Headed Mick & Bindy Sheehan Southern Exposure and staff takes great pride in “offering their clients a safe, pleasurable, value for money and sustainable adventure experience”.
Our creative integration of programs into school curriculum, Eco-tourism and corporate adventure has added to the business growing organically. Southern Exposure has a team of 25 highly qualified and professional staff members with diverse backgrounds.
For the past 10 years Southern Exposure has run the major endurance mountain biking events on the race calendar – The Surf Coast MTB Festival. The Run Forrest Trail Runattracted 900 runners in 2015 to the beautiful Otway town of Forrest for 21km and 10km of ‘Pure Trail Running Pleasure’.
