A great experience! - I have never surfed before and had a lot of fun! Our guide was super funny and very good in motivating us in trying again and again. The group size was good since we were not many people and the beach we went to was a great starting point for a first time surf. I would totally recommend for trying to surf the first time!!

Highly recommended family experience! - My pre-teen daughter and I went on family 2 hour lesson. We are Gold Coast locals and had the most fabulous experience together, it will be a lifelong memory for us. Our instructor was Beau, he was amazing! Beau was so positive, knowledgeable and patient; his patience definitely appreciated by a pair of novices. We'll be back for more, can't wait!!!!

Best surfing experience ever! - Had a great lesson with experienced coach Jason! The best surf method I have ever learnt, slow down, not to rush, how to keep balance, how to catch the wave. Also they made you great surf video/photos, really enjoy it!!

Very good surfles - I took a surfing lesson with a group in November when the weather conditions for surfing were not too good. Strong currents and a wild sea. Despite this, the entire group received good guidance and explanations and I felt safe in the water. They gave tips and I learned a lot.
I enjoyed it so much I took another lesson the next day! That says enough right :)
