Why do a surf lesson with us

Ideal location for beginner surf lessons

Our surf school is located on the beautiful Gold Coast and only 10 mins from Surfers Paradise at “The Spit” which has a break wall which offers protection from the stronger sweeps and allows for the formation of perfect sandbanks which create ideal waves for beginner surf lessons. It’s the beginner Surfers Paradise!

Small class sizes

Most large surf schools pack up to 24 beginners into a group, making it harder to stay safe, catch waves, or get the help you need.

At Surf In Paradise, we keep things small and personal — just 6 people max per group, the smallest on the Gold Coast. That means safer sessions, more waves, and faster progress with hands-on coaching.

Want to level up even quicker? Our private lessons (1–4 people) offer unbeatable value and are the fastest way to improve your skills.

Guaranteed Success!

With over 17 years of experience you get the best instructors, teaching you the best techniques, using the best equipment, in the best location. It takes most people about 5-10 waves before they are up and standing and 1 in 10 people will actually stand up on their very first wave! Let’s make that you!

FUN!

We are not going to put you in a group of 20 and yell at you like a military sergeant. We have designed our surf lessons to be fun and enjoyable and we want you to be able experience the thrill of surfing a wave! We believe the best surfer is the one having the most fun!
