Private Surf Lessons in Coolangatta

1 to 4 hours

Overview

These private surf lessons in Coolangatta are a more personalised way to get in the water, whether you are having your first crack at surfing or want to sharpen up your technique. Lessons run near Kirra, a well-known Gold Coast surf spot, and are led by experienced instructors who work with all ability levels. Surf equipment is included, so you do not need to organise your own gear.

Why backpackers love it

A private lesson gives you more one-on-one coaching than a standard group class, which can be worth it if you are short on time and want to improve quickly. It is also handy if you are a complete beginner and want a bit more attention before joining bigger surf sessions later. With gear included and public transport nearby, it is a straightforward option for travellers staying on the Gold Coast without their own car or board.

What to expect

You will meet your instructor for a private lesson focused on your level, from basic pop-up skills and wave timing through to more advanced surfing guidance. The session takes place near Kirra, where the operators hold the permit to run lessons. Equipment is provided, including a short arm, short leg wetsuit. The activity is suitable for all physical fitness levels, service animals are allowed, and public transport is available nearby. If your plans change, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure.
