Our kids lessons are structured so we have no more than 4 kids per instructor, the lessons are held in safe shallow water, and we do not have adults riding big boards in the class or near the kids in the water.
We also separate our kids into safe age groups;
– Squids for ages 6-9 years
– Kids for ages 10- 13 years
– Teens over 13years can join our adults classes just book in at the student rate.
– Children under 6 years must do a private lesson so they have an instructror in the water with them the entire time.
If your family would like to try out surfing together, we have family classes for participants 8 years and up and only adults who are surfing with their own kids are allowed to join.
Surfing is such a great sport for all ages and these sessions are designed to give them a taste of surfing and hopefully they love it and want to come back for more. The Intro to surf session is the prerequisite to our Beginner surf programs and we cover the following:
Identify the parts of the surf board and equipment
Basic surf awareness
Recognise hazards in the surf such as rips
Learn the steps to standing on a board
Ride a broken wave in the white wash assisted by the instructor
How to fall off safely in the shallows

Thanks again Josh for an awesome afternoon, and making Amelia’s day!
Our instructor was such a gem, funny and just a great teacher with the perfect balance of theory/practice and just get in and give it a go.
Thanks so much!
Be sure to ask Josh for a cow impression before you leave!
Highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a safe and friendly environment to take their first steps in their surfing career.
Remember you don't have to make chicken noises when you're prepping your chicken wings to stand, but it can't hurt, right?!?
Much love! Thanks for everything!!
It was my first time and my friend's second time to surf and Angus taught us so well !
He was so helpful and friendly
And luckily there were only two of us at that time. (My friend & I)
So it feels like private lesson
Perfect for beginners
Highly recommend 🤙🤙
All in all I can definitely recommend booking a lesson, if you want to have some fun :)
We didn’t get round to taking photos in our lesson which was a shame but that’s probably because the time flew by so quickly. The showering/changing facilities weren’t the greatest either but adequate. The beach they use (The Spit) is great for learning and not crowded or too busy so this was a real positive.
Overall, the great staff and small-group lesson experience were the best bits and I would definitely go again if in the area / recommend it to others.
Gonna come back!!!!
It was really worth it and absolutely recommendable.
Thank you very much.
We will 100% be booking another session to build on what we learned.
Other things we loved about the session: easy access, free and plenty of parking, cafe nearby, safety instruction and focus, lesson length.
After the lesson, I asked the manager if they had anything more advanced. Unfortunately, they only had advanced lessons for kids. She asked me if I had lessons before, so I told her about my 5 lessons. Then the manager said that I could join the lesson even though I'm not a kid. However, one of the coaches said, "This is her first lesson with US. She had lessons in Victoria." It felt like he didn't think those counted for much. It was a bit disrespectful, honestly.
I don’t think I’ll go back to them for any lessons. I've never felt this way with any other surf schools.
My son Eli has attended lessons and has now progressed to squad lessons on a Sunday and after all this time I decided at 54 I need to experience what brings him so much happiness.
So I did a lesson and now I get it !
The professionalism of the staff and the passion they have to everyone attending is so great to have been a part of. Everything is explained so well and I think we all came away feeling so proud of ourselves.
I am left wanting more also.
Thank you to all the team at Get Wet Surf
We are excited to attend this course every day. We can see our own improvement every day. The teachers are amazing!
We definitely will come back next year!
Let me be that friend and tell you to look no further if you want to try out surfing.
I had the best time at Get Wet surf school. I came by for a beginners’ lesson and ended up upgrading to the three lessons package, which I found well worth it. The school is very flexible about when you get the lessons, and you can give them a call on the day and ask if there are any spots available.
During the three lessons I met four of the instructors all of them are funny, engaging and provide good constructive feedback.
10/10 would come again next time I’m in surfers paradise.
