The team at coolum beach learn to swim are fabulous. They are great with children and the learn to surf classes are great value. My son has enjoyed learning to surf here and I think it has started a whole new passion for him.

Tried the two hour befinner group lesson was a mix of ages from little kiddies to 50+. But everyone got plenty of attention, tips and help to catch the waves. Instructors were really friendly and took surf safety seriously talking us through what to look out for on the beach. We were picked up from our hotel as we were... More

These guys are the best! So easy to deal with and a credit to local business on the Sunny Coast. All the staff are great with both adults and children. The equipment is new and in great condition. They give you a branded rash vest to make it easy spot you in the surf and provide sunscreen if you have... More

I originally booked an adult lesson with the school, and was placed into a group with very young children where I didn't feel I got attention. But to the owners' credit, when I contacted them about it they were eager to rectify the issue quickly and without fuss.

Loved the lesson at coolum surf school, learned loads about oceanology, wave selection, managing crowds, safe surfing and of course caught some nice waves. Staff were excellent, really friendly, enthusiastic and gave good feedback on things to work on. We also fitted in a bit of video coaching which was cool. Cheers Chris (Ireland)

The crew at Coolum Surf School will have you riding waves in your first lesson! Book in a few lessons or sign up for the Surf Groms program, and you will also learn how to read the surf. We have just signed on for our second year of Surf Groms and our son is loving it. He has graduated from... More

Tried a couple of surf schools and these are the best. Chris is an excellent instructor,and boy was he encouraging. It's a shame I am 10,000 miles up the road,as I am sure a week with him and I would be ready for Hawaii ! Thanks Again, Paul

We had a private lesson with Coolum Surfing School (CSS) for 2 adults and 2 kids. Gen (as mentioned in previous posts) was responsive and flexible. We needed to move out our start time due to a late arrival into Coolum, and this was handled easily over the phone while we traveled. We met at the CSS truck near the... More
