5.00perfect conditions, our surf instructor Killarney was awesome. Everyone in the group was standing up on most waves, not just one! Better than all the theme park rides on the gold coast!

5.00My kids (6 and 8 years old ) had so much fun on that day! Thank you Jason for making surfing sessions so much fun and engaging. They learned how to get use to the wave and trying to crouch to get the feeling of what it feels like when you stand on the surfboard in the waves. It’s easy for the kid to understand the basic. Kids was so happy and excited just after first lesson. Who would have thoughts kids could fall in love in suring even in windy winter seasons. Thank you once again! You’re the best Jason!
Private lesson for 4 kids

5.00We did a private lesson for 4 kids aged 5-12 with 2 instructors. The cost was $440 plus an additional $80 for a second instructor, which was well worth the cost. The second instructor mostly chased after the littlest one to free up time for the three bigger kids to learn to surf. They all had a lot of fun, and we parents felt pretty comfortable that everyone was safe and well-supervised. Would recommend it!
Fun Fun Fun

5.00Booked 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!
