Catch waves in Surfers Paradise - Must do activity while in Gold Coast. What better way to enjoy the beach than learning to surf and catching a few waves? Blake was a great instructor, explaining step by step how to jump on a wave and slowly stand up on your board. He also helped everyone catch a few waves in the water. Oh, and they will snap tons of pics throughout the class. Highly recommended activity!

Irish learning to surf - Kal and Yas were amazing instructors! I got so much further in surfing than I ever thought I would and I'm very uncoordinated! They were so encouraging and helpful in getting us to try and get standing on the board! The time flew by and we had the best fun! We are definitly trying it again soon. Would highly recommend!

Surfing beginners - He was a great trainer. I think his name was Jack. It was a lot of fun and the technique was explained very well. There was also a lot of support in the water. Very motivated. Definitely highly recommended.

Great instructors, amazing pictures! - My husband and I had an amazing experience for our beginner surf lesson. Neither one of us had ever surfed before. Our instructors, Trey and Jack, were so thorough, and extremely patient. The photos taken by Jenna were exceptional, and well worth the value. We ended up with almost 150 pictures that one or both of us were in. This experience was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Australia. I would recommend this surf shop to anyone without hesitation!

Great couple of hours - We were lucky enough to have Thomas as our instructor & had a great couple of hours. Despite the odds & being one of the most uncoordinated humans on earth I actually got up a few times & rode onto shore.
