Whether you are a beginner, experienced beginner or an intermediate surfer, our programs are designed to accelerate your surf progression, give you more personalised feedback and provide expert advice.

We conduct children’s surf programs (6-12 years). Our programs are conducted with x3 2-hour sessions. Scheduling depends on conditions and availability. Before you sign your child up to start your 6 hour program it is important for you to identify what level surfer they are. If your child has never tried surfing before we recommend that they do a kids beginner surf lesson’( link to kids beginner surf lesson) first so that they have a few basic skills and so that you are sure that they will want to complete the program.

If you want to sign your child up for one of our programs, we would assume that you have at least “had a go” and you are confident that they want to commit.

Before they start we would expect that they :

Minimum age 6 years Maximum 12
Stand on a board using the 4 or 2 step method unassisted by the instructor
Ride a broken wave in the white wash ( even just for a few seconds) unassisted by the instructor
Be able to identify the parts of the surf board
Basic surf safety
Recognize hazards in the surf such as rips
Be able to swim at least 25 metres in the surf and tread water
** all of these things are covered in the kids introduction to surf lesson

Each day of the 3 lesson program will cover some theory on the beach and of course plenty of time in the water. By the end of each lesson you will have to have reached certain goals so that you can progress to the next level.

Dates for up coming programs

What’s next?

Once you have reached all of these milestones you will be ready to hit the green/unbroken waves. Talk to our instructors about an Intermediate program or private coaching session.

Children 6-12 yrs

Children 6-12 and under are not permitted to join the group lessons with adults for their own safety, special exemptions may be made if the child is physically capable but that must be approved by Get Wet Surf School management.

Children’s only classes (for 6-12 year old’s) are held during school holidays and most Saturday mornings. Children’s only classes offer a 4 students to 1 instructor ratio for safety.

Parents are welcome to assist small children in a children’s only class if that are competent in the water.

Public Holidays

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS: in line with fair work agreements all of our instructors are paid public holiday rates, so a surcharge will be applied to lessons on official Queensland public holidays.

Had an absolute blast with Get Wet! Had never been on a board before, and they built me up with so much confidence, I didn't want to get off! Great atmosphere, friendly staff!
