Kids Surf Lessons at The Spit
1 to 4 hours
Overview
These kids-only surf lessons are aimed at beginners aged 6 to 12 and run at The Spit, Main Beach. The setup is geared towards safety and personal attention, with lessons held in shallow water and a maximum of four kids per instructor. All surf equipment is included, and the beach location adds a nice bonus with open sand and views back towards the Surfers Paradise skyline. This is a straightforward option for families who want a properly supervised first surf lesson rather than a big mixed group.
Why backpackers love it
This one is really more relevant for backpackers travelling with younger siblings or kids rather than the usual solo or group traveller. The main draw is how easy it is to organise: gear is included, the class size is small, and the beach facilities make the day simpler. It also feels more reassuring than a standard group lesson if you want something beginner-focused and closely supervised.
What to expect
The lesson runs for around two hours at The Spit, where kids are taught by qualified surf coaches in a shallow-water area. Group sizes are kept small so each child gets more one-on-one help while learning the basics and having a few laughs along the way. After the session, there are fresh water outdoor showers, change rooms and storage available, plus free all-day parking. Kids need to bring their own swimwear, and if a child is not a strong swimmer, a parent may need to help in the water.
