Learn to Surf at Coolangatta on the Gold Coast

You'll be met by your local guide beside the Kirra Surf Life Saving Club in Marine Parade at Kirra, 15 minutes before the lesson begins at 10am.

Everyone will need to sign an acceptance of risk form and also select and appropriate sized rash shirt or wetsuit as well as size of surfboard before heading to the beach. Begin with a safety briefing and some basic instruction before heading into the water to waist deep only, to catch the first few waves.

After everyone has caught a few waves, return to the beach to go through some detailed instruction on standing up. Most people have very low expectations when they arrive and assume that they will not be able to stand up. So it is fantastic to see everyone's faces when they stand up for the first time. By having the right size board and excellent instruction we can get almost everyone standing up in the first lesson.
