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 surf programs for adults and teens (13 years and up) Our programs are conducted with x3 2-hour sessions. Scheduling depends on conditions and availability.

Before you start your 6 hour program it is important for you to identify what level surfer you are . Unfortunately it’s not as simple as how many lessons you have previously had. Surfing is such an individual sport and everyone progresses at a different rate.  You may have been taking lessons with a mate, participated in a beginner class with another surf school or never tried before, but until we get you in the water we can’t really tell. This will give you a guide to see if you are ready for the 3-day program.

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

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.

Date for upcoming programs

Whats 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 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.
