Best surf instructors ever! - This was the best surf class I’ve ever taken. The instructors were really friendly, provided real-time and accurate feedback/pointers, and were really great with the 7 year old we had with us. Definitely recommend these guys!

Beginner friendly fun - The surf lesson was awesome! We got a good introduction to the basics, as our group was full of beginners. Our teacher was helpful with teaching us alternative ways to jump on board / jump on your feet etc.

Best experience ever 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 - Myself, 16 year old daughter and 10 year old niece had a lesson with Matt. He was so so lovely and engaged with all of us regardless of age difference. We all learned to surf in his safety and he truely looked after the 10 year old like she was his own child. I had sooo much fun and will definitely do it again. Thank you Matt 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Amazing Surflesson with Valentin - Amazing Surflesson with Valentin!!! We had an amazing private lesson with Valentin. we are both beginners and for my friend was it even the first time on a board. Valentin did a really really good job and we had a super fun time. My friend was really afraid before and did enjoy it very much due to his way of teaching! We can recommend him 100% and would definitely come back! thanks for an amazing experience!

Valentin is the best instructor - We had a great 2hrs lesson with Valentin. His way of teaching the foundation skills for beginners are awesome. We have done a few lessons at various places in Gold Coast or other areas in Sunshine Coast, but Valetin is by far the best instructor. Very clear in his instructions and easy to follow and his tips works! Can’t recommend him enough. Look for Valentin at Go Tide a Wave if you are learning surfing in Noosa! Thank you Valentin!

Good - Great time, but it was a bit confusing, and not much one to one teaching. We were a pretty big group, and it would have been nice if we had been divided into smaller groups by experience, and had each our guide to give us feedback after every ride.
