Day 2 Gold Coast

We hold our surf lessons at the Spit which is just a short 10 minute drive north of Surfers Paradise. The Spit is one of the few areas on the Gold Coast that has been saved from development and is the ideal location for beginners to learn how to surf. The Spit has a break wall which not only allows for the formation of good sand banks but also reduces the strength of the stronger sweeps that occur on the more exposed beaches along the Gold Coast. It really is the beginner surfer’s paradise! Lessons are held Monday to Friday: 9.30am 11.30am and 3.30pm and on weekends & School Holidays: 9.30am, 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm.

Hang ten as you enjoy another surf lesson to perfect your skills... ride on!! Lessons are held Monday to Friday: 9.30am, 11.30am and 3.30pm and on weekends & School Holidays: 9.30am, 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
