Absolutely amazing experience! - I highly recommend this surfing lesson to everyone, especially beginners. Even if your English is not very strong, you can still join without worry. The instructors here are excellent. They explain everything very clearly and make great use of the sand to demonstrate techniques, so you can both see and hear exactly what they mean. Even if your English is at a basic level, it’s still easy to follow along. Before entering the water, we did a lot of practice on the beach. I think this is extremely helpful for beginners because it gives you time to understand the movements and build confidence first. Once we got into the water, getting past the waves with the board was a bit challenging, but the instructor was always there to help and support us. I even managed to stand up on the board — for a few seconds, maybe even just a fraction of a second — but it felt amazing! I was truly so happy to experience that moment. Another thing worth mentioning is that I accidentally booked the wrong location. I originally booked in Coolangatta, but I actually wanted to surf in Surfers Paradise. I called them, and they were very kind and helped me change my booking location without any trouble. I really appreciate their help and flexibility. I’m very grateful that I joined this lesson. It’s truly an unforgettable memory for me.

My family and I are... - My family and I are visiting from New York. 2 adults and 2 kids (9 and 11 yo). We had such a great time. Jack and his team offered amazing instruction. Despite the wild / rough waves we were able to stand up and surf! Thanks for the best time!

Well organised and a thrill to surf! - Arranged at short notice. Class of 6 which gave Blake plenty of time to work with the mixed ability group to get everyone up - even if just for a short while before the inevitable splash! Great fun. Blake was superb - clear instructions and the patience of a saint! Thanks, I'd highly recommend.
