The instructors were clear, patient & their location for the lesson was safe & comforting!! We did a private lesson due to the ages of our children in the group - and had an extra instructor, which I would recommend if you have kids… even though they were the first to actually get up first go.

Booked a surf lesson for my three kids (aged 6, 8 an 13). They had a great time learning the basics and then catching some waves, standing up and riding some waves all the way in. Would definitely recommend Get Wet Surf School!

I took a surfing lesson with a group in November when the weather conditions for surfing were not too good. Strong currents and a wild sea. Despite this, the entire group received good guidance and explanations and I felt safe in the water. They gave tips and I learned a lot.
I enjoyed it so much I took another lesson the next day! That says enough right :)

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.

No it won't be cold ..as temperature in Gold Coast will be around 35 degrees .. And once you are in water .. U would feel the cold .. And they give u full wet suit which covers u .
