Highlights
  • Claude Batten Drive - Our rendezvous point is the trailer located in the parking area at Beach Access No 11 on Claude Batten Drive at Noosa Heads. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your lesson. We equip you with a long-sleeved rash/sun shirt (or a wetsuit during the colder months) and provide you with an appropriately sized soft surfboard for beginners. Following that, we proceed to the shoreline where we commence with a briefing on safety and some fundamental surfing techniques. After catching a few initial waves in shallow water, we return to the shore for a more comprehensive lesson on standing up on the board. The remainder of the session is spent in the ocean, with the instructor aiding each participant in successfully standing up on their surfboard.

First time surfer girls - My friend and I both went for the surfing lesson on Friday 30th 10am slot. It was easy enough to find on the morning. Our instructor Valentine (Argentina) was great! He ran through our safety, gave us simple, easy to follow instructions as well as asking us if we were worried about anything- very much put us at ease! I’d highly recommend this for beginner lessons (a bit of experience before or completely new).

Fun and Friendly Surf Lesson - Highly Recommended! - I recently took a surf lesson with Go Ride A Wave Noosa, and it was an amazing experience! The 2-hour class, which included a briefing, wetsuits, and a beginner's surfboard, was perfect for getting a feel for surfing. Our instructors, Rizz and Cece, were fantastic—friendly, encouraging, kind, and super fun. They made a challenging water sport into an enjoyable and exciting activity. I definitely got my money's worth and would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in trying out surfing.

Learn to surf with confidence! - Valentine (Valenteen) was the most patient, kind and experienced instructor. We had a couple of young children with us, as well as lots of first timers and he spent one-on-one time with everyone, ensuring they felt confident, safe and were learning a lot about surfing and the water. I would highly recommend this experience and Valentine as an instructor. He showed us how easy it was to learn to surf and how to confidently navigate waves.

Best surf class ever! - We had the best experience surfing today with Hugh and Valentine from Go Ride a Wave Noosa! They were both very experienced surf teachers, clearly passionate about it and they managed to adapt and be available for everyone in the group, regardless of their experiences and level, making it an unforgettable experience! The location and beach was perfect with not too many people and great waves! Thanks again so much 🙌🏄‍♂️
