Incredible instructors for my children! - We were staying in Kirra Beach for a week over easter school holidays and I decided to get both my boys - 8 and 5 years old into group lessons every day. It was so worth it! My 8 year old (who has had some surfing lessons before and gets put on a wave by his dad sometimes but neither of us surf) went from saying surfing is like 6.5 / 10 (i.e. ok but not great!) to 10/10! He now can't stop talking about surfing and wants to surf all day (and all night if he could). Its overtaken about 3 other sports to be the top of his list. My 5 year old (who has never surfed before) was popping from day 1 and by the end of the week he was popping on every wave. Special shout out to James (the owner) for his great communiation and flexibility to accommodate us (especially over Easter long weekend), and to the instructors - in particular Luis (he was a FANTASTIC teacher and mentor and took my 8 year old on a surfing journey all week and is no doubt why he loves surfing as much as he does), Marco (gave great tips), and Enico (?) who my 5 year old loved to bits - said "he was super nice" and made surfing SO fun for him (interestingly my 5 year old never got through a 90 minute lesson without retiring after 1 hour EXCEPT for the day that Enico was his coach when he lasted the full 90 minutes and could have kept going). Next time we are up this way, will definitely get back in touch with this super surf crew!

Gotta do this! - Fabulous time! As a "late starter" to surfing, I found Luke - the instructor/coach, to be insightful, encouraging and really positive. i could have stayed all day if I had been fitter!

Kids surfing lessons were awesome! - Moss and Louie were great instructors this term - they made it fun, encouraged them to push and paddle, shared great tips that were age appropriate and helped them gain confidence with surfing! My kids (5,8,9) have been doing their third summer with James and the team and we’ve always loved the energy the instructors bring to surfing. Thanks to James and the team for all they do!

Awesome surf school with the best vibes! - I’ve had multiple lessons with Kirra Point Surf School, and every single one has been absolutely amazing! The instructors are not only incredibly skilled, but also super motivating, patient, and full of good energy. They make you feel confident, safe, and excited to push yourself – I’ve learned so much thanks to them.
Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn or just have fun in the waves!
Thank you so much guys.

Couldn't recommend more - AMAZING!! Fantastic prompt communication from James who was very accommodating to meet our time/ needs. The actual lessons felt authentic and not at all corporate. The instructors are very personable and genuinely care about your development - Especially Marco!! We've recommended to our friends and will be back

Best Surf Lessons Around! - My Son Zak and I decided to learn how to surf. James hooked us up with Arthur who is an incredible coach and my 10y/o son was up and surfing in the first lesson. Two more lessons down and he was popping up and riding almost every wave he could, Arthur was extremely patient and a bloody good guy! I would absolutely 1000% recommend this well sorted operation if you are keen to learn or improve
Excellent !!

Great surf lessons! - We had a great surf lesson. It was great that the surf instructor just had to take care of both of us, so we hardly had to wait and he could give everyone individual tips.

Great surfing experience for kids and beginners - My kids never tried surfing and I was worried that booking the surfing lesson was just a waste of money, but I was so wrong because they absolutely loved it and asked me to do it again and again. It was a fantastic learning experience for them, especially thanks to the great instructor who was fantastic with children and knew how to make the lesson safe and enjoyable at the same time.

Great surf school on iconic Kirra beach - My private lesson with James was the best way to start my learning of surfing. James started with the basics and after catching a couple of waves I was standing up in no time and we headed a bit further out to catch more waves with easy under James’s guidance.
I can’t talk highly enough of James and would recommend him to all, with his experience and knowledge of surfing and being able to pas that onto a beginner surfer and being able to understand it all.

Best private lessons on the Gold Coast - My Son recently had a Private lesson through Kirra point surf school. The instructor James was incredible. He has taught my son the perfect technique with his surfing. He is positive and kind and definitely makes the experience lots of fun.
