Fantastic experience. My son (9yrs) was a first time surfer and Tom was so patient and encouraging. He was up and paddling into the waves by himself by the end of the session. Will be booking more lessons with Tom and Get Wet.
Thanks for your review! Tom will be stoked!

Visited on my tour of the East Coast with Ultimate. Great beginners surf lesson this afternoon. Huge shout out to Emilio (hope i have spelt it right). Brought positive energy and good vibes!
Emilio is so stoked you had a great time!
Really good spot to learn, instructor was great and gave great coaching/advice. Great for novices. Would recommend to anyone
Thanks for the great recommendation!
Private lesson was terrific. Could not surf at all to start with. I wanted to learn to ride a wave and I ended up riding many. Jason the surfing instructor is terrific and knows exactly the process to get you surfing and keep improving. I absolutely loved this experience and it’s the highlight of this year for me. Got a second lesson two days later and learnt a lot again from Jason. I feel like I’m set to keep surfing now. Next time I’m visiting Gold Coast I’ll no doubt pop in again.
Wow, what an outstanding review! We can't thank you enough for the positive feedback and I'm sure Jason will be over the moon to hear you had a great time. We absolutely loved having you become apart of our Get Wet family and we can't wait to see you again when you're back on the Goldy! :)
We had a fabulous morning! The staff at Get Wet couldn't do enough for us. We will certainly be back for another session!
Dear Lisa, thank you so much for the lovely review, we are thrilled that you and the children enjoyed your time with us , you guys took to it like naturals. I'm sure Lane will be out on his own board from Santa every chance and Finn was super keen and will want his own in no time :-)
