This is a beginner-friendly surf lesson on the Gold Coast with a strong focus on getting you up on the board. Group sizes are kept small, with a maximum of five students per instructor, so you get more one-on-one help than in a big class. All surfing equipment is included, along with surf safety and awareness instruction, and you’ll also get a free photo package from the session highlights. The beach used can vary depending on ocean conditions, as the operator works across several Gold Coast beaches to find the best surf on the day.
Why backpackers love it
If you want to try surfing without needing to organise gear or figure out where the best waves are, this keeps things simple. The small class size is a real plus if you’re new to surfing and want proper help rather than being one face in a crowd. The free photos are handy if you want proof you gave it a crack, and the flexible beach choice means you’re more likely to get workable conditions. It’s best suited to active travellers with at least moderate fitness.
Over two hours, you’ll be introduced to the basics of surfing, including safety and ocean awareness before getting into the water to practise. The lesson is designed for learners, with instructors giving plenty of individual guidance thanks to the low student-to-instructor ratio. Rather than being locked to one beach, the session runs at the best available spot for the conditions that day. The operator also mentions a stand-up guarantee and may include a chance to learn how to throw a boomerang.
