What To Expect
Meet us at our shop on Cavill Avenue, right next to Hungry Jack’s, in the buzzing heart of Surfers Paradise—arrive 15 minutes early, and we’ll get you set. We hook you up with a long-sleeved rashie and the perfect soft-top board, then cruise down to the beach. The session kicks off with a quick safety rundown before we dive straight in, catching our first waves in waist-deep water. After that, we hit the sand for pro tips on popping up like a legend. Then it’s back in the water, where your instructor will be right there, helping you ride wave after wave.
