excellent! - What a day! I rode the waves for the first time and had an unforgettable day...couldn't ask for more! I'll definitely be back someday. Surfing at the legendary Surfers Paradise was the low-key cool. Huge thanks to the instructors, especially Maui, whose awesome teaching style and vibe made the surfing session remarkable. Cheers to the 'Go Ride A Wave' team!

Honeymoon to Gold Coast. First time surfing - Honeymoon to first overseas trip. I was able to surf my dream at Gold Coast. It was the first time we had both been overseas and we were very anxious at first because the lessons were all in English. The staff who taught me was very friendly and kind, and they chose words that I could understand and explained with gestures, which was easy to understand. The waves in Surfers Paradise were high and vigorous, but I was able to stand a few times with help. They also took a lot of photos with SLR cameras, and although it costs a lot of money, it was great to be able to talk about my memories of the trip while looking at the wonderful photos. If you come to the Gold Coast, be sure to try it out!

must do - Super guidance to surf a few meters in a short time anyway. Unfortunately I was no longer there, otherwise I would have taken extra lessons

Highly recommend!!!!! - Absolutely a must if you've ever had the desire to jump on a board. It was my first time and I loved it. The instructors were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I caught a few good waves and I would don't again. Highly recommend!!!!!

Great lesson - Taj and Jack did a great job teaching the group. They were encouraging and hands on. Everyone was surfing at the end. Watch the tides and ask what the best time of day is. It changes by season. We had a very low tide which made the run very short Water was lovely and the wet suits definitely helped keep you warm
