Sam was brilliant fun and we learnt a lot! We went from beginner to standing up surfing! Would highly recommend having a session
Great surf school, great safety focus the instructor:student ratio was very good, we got a call to say it wasn’t safe to surf for beginners and immediate offer to refund or reschedule. Instructors were very child friendly, made the pre-brief fun but got the main points over with emphasis. Our youngest was very proud to surf all the way in to the beach and is now an avid surf dude :-D Very impressed.
Super awesome experience, my friend had 0 surfing experience and I've had a lesson before and honestly this one was so much better. Instructor clearly knew what he was talking about and was super chill to talk to. Would definitely recommend!
The instructor Jason taught me a lot and I felt I got a lot out of the 2 hour session. Lots of fun and highly recommend for all ages and beginners.
First time learning to surf and I had a great time, too. I am 48 years old and surprised myself that I was able to stand on the board and surf some waves. Lachie was so helpful and gave postive encouragement and feedback each time I surfed a wave. This was a last minute booking and I received friendly service on the phone and was accepted for a group booking once I had booked and paid online. Also, loved being greeted by Pork chop the dog. I definitely will rebook with Go Ride A Wave for future lessons.
From the get go I could tell that we were going to have a fantastic daywith Lachie. He was enthusiastic, friendly and knew what he was doing. my girls (age 11 and 9) had fun and have been talking about pretty much nonstop since! (Even though the younger one tapped out early
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours in advance of the start date of the experience.
