Great lesson which got us surfing!

A lovely experience on the Gold Coast. Craig the instructor was incredible, created a lovely atmosphere for the lesson as well as teaching us all the key skills needed to surf. Despite the rough seas, the whole group managed to catch waves and I went from not knowing anything to paddling into my own waves. Lots of falls and laughs, but a lot was learnt and ultimately the base was set very well for future improvement on my own

Operator response

Thanks for the awesome review Chris- Craig is stoked you had a good time despite the surf conditions on the day. We do our best to make sure everyone has a good time regardless!

Awesome Surfing experience.

Great experience!I went with my 7 -year-old daughter and she was asking me to go again! The beach is not crowded and wave was totally safe to handle. I wished I had more time to have a 3-lesson session. The coaches are friendly and clear on instructions. A good place to get started!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're so glad to hear your daughter had a great time! That's the same reasons we also love the spit. We hope to see you again someday!

Great intro to Surfing and the Gold Coast

Our sons (15 and 17) had a beginners surfing lesson this morning with Billy. They had a great experience. One was feeling confident and one more nervous to start with and the welcoming staff, clear instructions and support meant that both boys really enjoyed their session and came away with big smiles on their faces. This was our first day on the Gold Coast, thanks for a great intro! Highly recommended

Operator response

Hi Cath, Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are thrilled that your boys had a great time with Billy. So pleased Billy was able to replace thenerves with a smile and get them up surfing. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time on the Gold Coast and hope to see you back surfing on your next visit, Kerri :)
