Surf Lesson on Broadbeach - I booked a surf lesson for myself and my 2 boys aged 10 and 12. The instructors were great showing us the basics. We didnt spend ,too long practising on the sand but enough to give you the knowledge you needed to surf. The majority of the lesson was hands on in the sea and the instructors were there to help make it more fun and to give some pointers on your technique. The aim was to to take you from a complete novice to being able to stand up by the end of the lesson. Whilst I didnt acheive anything worthy of being on TV or a surfing advert I did manage to stand up and surf......I had no choice after my boys cracked it in a nano second 😐 It was very safe and fun if you have young ones wanting to give it a go. All in all, we had a great afternoon! The instructors told us go ride a wave also rent out boards from their shop at surfers paradise so while we are on the Gold Coast we will definately hire a board and have another go at surfing. 🏄‍♂️ Thanks for a great surf lesson!!

Amazing experience - I had a wonderful experience with instructor Damien. I'm not confident in the water and went solo, but he made everyone feel secure. Detailed info/theory and practise that was logical and helped set us up for success. I had an absolute blast!
