Who wants to "Get their Surf on"?

Our 2 hour introduction to surf session is for anyone (14 years and up)

who just want to jump on a board and experience the thrill of surfing.

This is a great session for first timers or some one who has maybe done one or
2

lessons and just need a bit more help with the basics. The intro lesson is
conducted in the white wash, in waist deep water so its safe for anyone.

If you want to "Get your surf on" you will arrive at the beach in your
boardies frothing to

get in the water after a quick safety brief. You won’t be ready to join the
pro’s

at Straddie but we do guarantee we will do everything we can to get you

standing up and catching a wave in the white wash in the first 2 hour session

Surfing is such a great sport for all ages and these sessions are

designed to give you a taste of surfing and hopefully you love it and

want to come back for more,

What to expect

Get there: We pick you up in our shuttle at 10 Beach Rd, Surfers
Paradise, 30 minutes before your lesson time and bring you to our shop
located behind the Seaway Cafe, at the end of Seaworld Drive, Main Beach. The
shuttle only has limited capacity so we can't offer that service to
spectators.

Get Ready: We really need you to be in your swimwear when

you arrive so we can get the class started on time, we will check you in, make

sure everyone has arrived, grab a rashie/ wet suit and board and head down to

the beach.

Get Started: This is where you have to listen, the

instructors will run through a really important safety brief about the

conditions you are surfing in on that day followed by some really easy

techniques to help you get up on the board as easily as possible and maximise

your vertical time on the board and of course how to fall off safely. Once the

instructors are confident that you are all good to go, its then time to ….

Get Wet : This is what you came for. The instructors will

take the group down to the water together, before your big toe goes in they

will run through the formation they need you to stay in so everyone gets a

great crack at it and the instructors can give you tips. If you are doing what

these expert instructors are telling you should be pretty much standing on
your

first or second wave.

Get Vertical: At first the instructors will help by pulling

you onto the best waves, but it won’t be long before you can pick your own and

go for it. Some people learn faster than others for one reason or another, but

the instructors are there to help everyone achieve the best they can.

Get Sharing: After a good hour and 20 min (if you can last

that long) in the water you should be tired, satisfied and have a big smile on

your face, met some new friends and want to tell the world. It’s now time for

the Instagram group pic so you can share with your friends. if the conditions

are good and everyone has been catching lots of waves the instructors will do

their best to grab some photos of you ripping, after the group photo we will

all head back to the shop and they will show you your happy snaps on the

the big screen, if you like what you see and want to purchase the photos you
can find the happy snaps on the photo store on our website after the lesson.

*** the instructors will do everything they can to get some good shots of

you but sometimes its just not possible- they will not compromise your safety

for a photo.

Get Dry: you will be a little salty and sandy so if you

want to have a quick rinse off now is the time to nip off quickly to one of
the

outdoor fresh water showers and bathrooms and freshen up and get dry. Time to

say good bye to your new mates and if you LOVED it, chat to the instructors

about coming back for some more.
