About this tour
Catch your first wave or refine your technique with a dedicated coach at Surfers Paradise. This two-hour private lesson pairs you with an instructor trained to spot what you need—whether that's foundational balance or stroke refinement. You'll have access to all gear, showers, change rooms and all-day parking. The school maintains a 1:5 instructor-to-student ratio, keeping the water safer and feedback more direct than larger group sessions.
Highlights
- One instructor per five surfers maximum
- All boards and wetsuits provided
- Showers and secure gear storage on-site
- Free all-day carpark
- Tailored coaching for beginners and intermediate surfers
What to expect
Your instructor will assess your ability in the opening minutes, then work through technique fundamentals or corrections in the water. Expect hands-on guidance—they'll demonstrate positioning, paddle timing, and pop-up mechanics, then watch your attempts and adjust. The lesson moves at your pace. Afterwards, rinse off in the outdoor showers and use the change rooms. Bring your own swimwear and leave valuables at home or in your accommodation.
