      Awesome Surfing experience.
      Great experience!I went with my 7 -year-old daughter and she was asking me to go again! The beach is not crowded and wave was totally safe to handle. I wished I had more time to have a 3-lesson session. The coaches are friendly and clear on instructions. A good place to get started!

      We had an absolutely fantastic time with our two surf instructors tom and johnny. Their expertise, patience, and enthusiasm made the entire experience unforgettable. Not only did we learn so much about surfing, but we also had a ton of fun in the process. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe while pushing us to improve our skills. Thank you for such a great and enjoyable experience - we will definitively be back for more surf lessons!

      The best in Gold Coast
      This surf school is seriously the best I've ever experienced. The instructors really go above and beyond to help you improve. I've learned so much faster here than anywhere else. The whole vibe is super encouraging and positive. I'm so stoked I found this place!

      A great family outing!
      We did the 2hr beginner family session. Sami and Will were phenomenal. So patient and engaging with my daughter and myself as well. The lesson was incredibly safe and fun despite the rain. We will 100% be booking another session to build on what we learned. Other things we loved about the session: easy access, free and plenty of parking, cafe nearby, safety instruction and focus, lesson length.

      Great intro to Surfing and the Gold Coast
      Our sons (15 and 17) had a beginners surfing lesson this morning with Billy. They had a great experience. One was feeling confident and one more nervous to start with and the welcoming staff, clear instructions and support meant that both boys really enjoyed their session and came away with big smiles on their faces. This was our first day on the Gold Coast, thanks for a great intro! Highly recommended

      So much fun & everyone successfully surfed
      The instructors were clear, patient & their location for the lesson was safe & comforting!! We did a private lesson due to the ages of our children in the group - and had an extra instructor, which I would recommend if you have kids… even though they were the first to actually get up first go.

    We did a private lesson for 4 kids aged 5-12 with 2 instructors. The cost was $440 plus an additional $80 for a second instructor, which was well worth the cost. The second instructor mostly chased after the littlest one to free up time for the three bigger kids to learn to surf. They all had a lot of fun, and we parents felt pretty comfortable that everyone was safe and well-supervised. Would recommend it!

    Booked a surf lesson for my three kids (aged 6, 8 an 13). They had a great time learning the basics and then catching some waves, standing up and riding some waves all the way in. Would definitely recommend Get Wet Surf School!

    My kids (6 and 8 years old ) had so much fun on that day! Thank you Jason for making surfing sessions so much fun and engaging. They learned how to get use to the wave and trying to crouch to get the feeling of what it feels like when you stand on the surfboard in the waves. It’s easy for the kid to understand the basic. Kids was so happy and excited just after first lesson. Who would have thoughts kids could fall in love in suring even in windy winter seasons. Thank you once again! You’re the best Jason!

    Couldn’t be happier with the offering of a 1:4 ratio specialised childrens lessons (ages 6-12 years). Amazing instructors using really positive, age appropriate instructions and getting the kids excited and engaged while teaching about the importance of ocean water safety.
    My kids are super keen to go back again as soon as we have a chance to visit. Definitely will be back for more lessons.
