The perfect first surf lesson - The whole experience was just great. The course size was very pleasant, the surf instructors were in good spirits and both funny and professional. Which was especially good: We were really fast in the water after an understandable and practical introduction on the beach and everyone in the course managed to stand on the board at least once! That was a lot of fun and encouraging! Thanks to the whole team and especially Scott :-)

Old dogs can re learn new tricks - Awesome day on the waves. After a 30yr break, the best group to refresh my skills and learn a few tricks to make it easier for my old mechanics body to surf again. Great to be back on the waves. Definitely recommend a lesson with the go ride a wave crew at Noosa.

Inspired to surf at Noosa - Amazing experience. We went with multiple families staying at Elysium through their program with Go Ride a Wave. Enjoyed it so much we did an extra day ourselves directly. Really great team with CC and the guys, all were passionate about helping the young kids learn to surf, with an easy going fun style, great techniques and encouragement. Noosa is a perfect spot to learn. Our two young boys were stoked to learn to surf with the team and came home inspired surfers.

Great team and place to learn Surfing - Had a great time learning to surf with the children. We had 2 instructors in a group of 7, and gave plenty of coaching to the kids who were standing in no time. Would recommend going with Go Ride A Wave.
