What you can expect

Our 2-hour Introduction to Surfing lessons are designed to give you a taste of the thrill of surfing! Can you imagine yourself riding a wave on the beautiful Gold Coast?

Joining a group of like-minded people looking for something new to try is always loads of fun. We get you down to the beach then run through some basic steps that will have you standing up on your board in the safest, easiest way possible and after some basic safety instructions we get you out on the water as soon as we can.

You might only be on the Gold Coast for 1 day and want an awesome photo of you riding a wave, or you may be wanting to tick it off your bucket list, or just want to see why it’s one of Australia’s greatest pastimes, then we encourage you to give it a go. Our surfing instructors are there to make it fun, safe and easy for people of all age groups and levels of fitness. We want you to love surfing as much as we do. All equipment is provided and transfers can be added for a small fee.

For the safety of our participants we conduct adults lesson separately to children’s. For the best results, our adults (13 years +) group surfing lessons run with a maximum 5 student to 1 instructor ratio (this is a lower ratio than recommended by leading surfing bodies). For children’s group surfing lessons (6-12 years ) we run with a maximum 4 student to 1 instructor ratio.

These sessions are an introduction to surfing so you need no experience or skills at all. The instructor is in the water with you the entire time!

The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and made the session so much fun, even for a complete beginner like me. The location was perfect, with good waves to practice on. They provided all the equipment and gave clear, easy-to-follow instructions. There were also taking pictures on the day for a great souvenir. Most people in the group were able to stand on the board and catch some waves. Highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting the Gold Coast! :)

It was a good session. The instructor explained everything. All the coach were in water the whole time. But it started a bit late, would have been better if we could get more time in water.

We LOVED our experience. My partner and I surf but never had proper lessons. I think what they go over on land already made the experience worth it. There were non stop waves. Jason and Tom gave us great feedback for adjusted our technique after almost every wave.

: Super good guides! The place where you surf is ingenious for first time surfing. I can highly recommend this two hour trip. They offer sunscreen, sweater and board. We were approx. 14 on our team and 3 guides - absolutely perfect

Surfing as a beginner is exhausting but definitely something everyone should try at least once in their life.
