Amazing day! Highlight of the Gold Coast
Andrew_M, May 2025
We had an amazing time doing the surf lesson, this was our first time doing it and we had great fun. Our instructor Jason was great, encouraging and helpful. We picked this up pretty quickly and managed to catch some of our own waves!

Jason will be so happy with your kind words- Thanks for surfing with us!
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!!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
