Your local surf experience begins with a short *complimentary transfer from your accommodation where you get to explore undeveloped locations rarely seen by Visitors. You will arrive at the best beginner surf location, as voted by Gold Coast Locals. If you have a car feel free to drive as parking is free all day and you can stay and explore this magnificent location.

As the Gold Coast only non-bathing, dedicated surf beach, the Spit offers small waves, no strong sweeps and no crowds, well known as the safest little surf beach so close to the heart of Surfers Paradise. Ensuring your experience is fun, easy and above all safe.

Get Wets highly experienced instructors will run you through the basic safety steps on the sand then take you into the water with a maximum of 6 people per instructor on each class, the instructors are with you I the water the entire time, guiding you , so they will have you catching your own waves in no time.

A local family owned and operated award-winning surf school established in 2005, Get Wet will welcome you like a local and guarantee you thrills, spills and loads of smiles.

After the lesson you will get to view your photos and re live the memories before our complimentary shuttle returns you back to your accommodation. *

That’s why we have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions to our instructors. We hope this might help clear up any doubts you have about surfing and our surf school.

Are our programs suitable for weak swimmers?

Yes they are! Our lessons are held in waist deep water. So your feet will be touching the sand at all times.

Is there a minimum age?

Safety is our priority, Children’s only lessons are held for children from 6-12 Years . Children 12 and up can join our group lessons with adults. Children under 6 must do a private lesson.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Conditions at the Spit are generally very good for beginner lessons. However, if we feel that conditions may be too rough for our participants, we will reschedule for a different date or refund your money.

What do I need to bring?

On the beach you will only be needing swimmers and big desire to surf and have fun. We will provide you with a wetsuit, rash shirt, sunscreen and of course … a surfboard.

How do we get to the lesson ?

If you have your own car you are best to drive to the Spit as the parking is free all day and you can stay and enjoy the best beach on the Gold Coast.

If you require public transport, the bus terminates at Seaworld so we run a shuttle service from several pick-up locations. See our pick-ups list in About us tab.

Is your shuttle service free?

Our shuttle service is complimentary for participants only who book directly with us online. If you are booking through a 3rd party website, conditions apply.

The shuttle is not available for spectators as we need to reserve the seats for those surfing. If the participant is under 12 we allow 1 adult to accompany them in the shuttle.
