OUT of the car and away from busy streets, ever-important road safety messages were delivered by popular Victorian surfers Adam Robertson and Jack Perry on the sand yesterday.
The duo took to Warrnambool’s main beach to host surfing sessions as part of the VicRoads Surf With the Boys Tour.

“Part of the fun of heading for a surf is the road trip,” Cape Bridgewater native Robertson said.
“Strapping your board to the roof, picking your mates up and searching for the best break is something all surfers enjoy.
“While that’s a great part of the experience, the reality is that young male drivers and passengers — like those attending our surf clinics — are most likely to be injured or killed on the roads.
“It’s vital that these young guys realise that and know the conditions and how to handle them — whether they’re on the road or in the surf.”
The tour heads to Apollo Bay today.
