Brilliant Surf Lesson
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!

Best way to LEARN surfing and have fun doing it.
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.
Operator response
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! :)
