In a town named Surfers Paradise, you gotta try surfing - Never surfed before. I’m very good on a boogie board, and I skateboarded as a kid. Surfing is tough! After 2 hours, you will be tired, and your knees will be rubbed quite raw if you go without some sort of pants.
There were 6 of us in the class. We got sufficient time with our instructor, Blake. Blake was good. He will get you up in the board. You may not be able to without him, but by the end of the class, you will have been up in the board actually riding the wave with your feet on the board at least 5 times. You will have 25 times when you try and fail to get on your feet and ride. You may get on your feet, but immediately wipe out. It wasn’t frustrating. You knew Blake would make his way around to you soon. If you do get frustrated, you can just ride the board on your belly to rest and bide your time waiting for Blake.
Despite the waves being dinky, they are STRONG. They can knock you down. You don’t need big waves to ride to shore.
It was fun. It’s worth doing once.

Highly recommended! - Very flexible time arrangements, helpful and attentive staff, highly recommended.
My boys 16 & 11 had 3 lessons and they loved it. The weather varied from rain, strong wind and sun but instructors were professional and patient to guide them through each lesson.

Excellent - Brilliant time. Staff very helpful full, also very knowledgeable about the sea and waves. And safety, how to fall etc, which I definitely needed. I was not very good, but at 61 and never been on a board before, I didn't care. I went with my daughter, we had an amazing time, so much fun. Very professional, only draw back was had a bit of a walk with the boards to the sand, but not their fault really, as the beach has changed since the cyclone earlier in the year. 10 out of 10

EASY, WORTH IT, JUST DO IT! - Brodie and Taj were amazing. They (obviously) know their job well and explained the techniques of surfing very clearly. For this, I found surfing is not as hard as I thought (from a beginner's perspective!) and I am confident enough from this lesson to use their 'Hire a board" service in the future!
Hot Tip! Wear the long bathing pants to avoid a little sand-rash while practicing! It makes more sense now why the wetsuits are the fashionable choice ;-)

Great teache5 Great experience - Great lesson by Taj, very patient and knowledgeable instructor. Learnt about the waves and what to look for which was very useful if you're a beginner and want to do more surfing without an instructor. Great experience all round, almost managed to stand on the board and would recommend for beginners looking to experience some surfing while in Surfers Paradise. Needs to be tried!

get the surf for your level - I am intermidiate but todays surf was for begginers so I should of been told this before booking as I selected imtermidiate. However, the instructor saw and I did my own thing and he gave some good tips and he told me where to go surf and booked me into the next two days with same company but a much better surf break for my level, I went to check it out stright away and it suited me so Ill surf again tomorrow.
