Gold Coast Experience Gifts: Let your kids get a taste for catching waves with this Children’s Intro to Surfing Lesson in Main Beach.
Surfing is a great hobby for kids to take up, and this fantastic two-hour lesson for ages 6-12 enables them to get a taster for the sport in a safe environment. The lesson will begin with briefings on surfing safety and hazards, before the instructor helps everyone get to know their boards and the fundamental steps for paddling and standing up.

With only four children to an instructor, your child is in safe hands and will gain great one to one guidance and support. This introduction taster lesson is the perfect way for children to have a go at surfing and see if it’s a hobby they might fall in love with.

Kids only Intro to surf session
Are your kids keen to Get Wet? Our kids only surf lessons are for little frothers who want to try their hand at shredding without those pesky adults killing their mojo.
These classes are for 6 to 12 year olds and they are run throughout school holidays. They run 3 mornings a week (and more often during peak times) and on Saturday mornings throughout the school terms. Kids only classes are run with an even lower coach-to-participant ratio of 4:1 to ensure maximum amounts of both safety and fun!
Surfing is such a great sport for all ages and these sessions are designed to give them a taste of surfing and hopefully they love it and want to come back for more,
The Intro to surf session is the prerequisite to our Beginner surf programs and we cover the following
- Identify the parts of the surf board and equipment
- Basic surf awareness
- Recognize hazards in the surf such as rips
- Learn the steps to standing on a board
- Ride a broken wave in the white wash assisted by the instructor
- How to fall off safely in the shallows
What to expect!
Our Shop is located behind the Seaway Cafe, at the end of Seaworld Drive Main Beach.
The seaway cafe is located in the carpark and parking is FREE all day. Check in time is 15 min prior to your lesson, to find us just walk down the right hand side between the Cafe and the amenities block and come in the back gate.
Get Ready. We really need you to be in your swim wear 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. Mum or Dad can jump in and help with carrying the board if you like but we do pair up the kids to make it easier for them to carry.
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. We do appreciate that some children may get tired or cold during the lesson, so the instructors may chose to come out of the water and do some warm up activities with them.
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 big screen, if you like what you see and want to grab them for your next face book profile pic you can grab a USB with all of your shots for just $25.** the instructors will do everything they can to get some good shots of you but sometimes it?s 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 signing up for one of our beginner surf programs.
