Private Surf Lesson in Surfers Paradise

10 Reviews

1 hour 30 minutes

Overview

This private surf lesson is a more personalised way to learn or sharpen up your technique on the Gold Coast. Instead of being in a group, you’ll have an instructor with you the whole time, adjusting the lesson to suit your ability and focusing on the areas you need help with most. It’s a better fit if you want extra support, are keen to improve faster, or just prefer individual coaching over a standard group setup.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

If you’re only in town for a short time and want proper surf coaching rather than a big beginner class, this keeps things simple. You get dedicated attention, all the basic gear is included, and the lesson is tailored to how confident you already are. It’s not the cheapest way to try surfing, but if you want focused help and a better chance of progressing quickly, the value is in the one-on-one format.

What to expect

The lesson runs for 1 hour 30 minutes at Surfers Paradise Main Beach. You’ll be provided with a surfboard, wetsuit and sunscreen, then spend the session working directly with your instructor in the water. Because it’s private, the coaching can be shaped around your level, whether you’re starting from scratch or trying to fix specific parts of your technique. Public transport is available nearby. It’s suitable for all physical fitness levels, but it’s not recommended for pregnant travellers or those with poor cardiovascular health. Service animals are allowed, and if you need to cancel, you can get a full refund by doing so at least 24 hours before departure.
