BEGINNER LEARN TO SURF LESSON SURFERS PARADISE

Many people holiday on the Gold Coast for many reasons, theme parks, beautiful beaches, activities, tours, nightlife, the range of accommodation or simple to sit back, relax and take it easy. But for a lot there is one experience that can be life changing - SURFING!

The Gold Coast has some of the best surfing beaches in the world and this city has a real surfing culture and surfing history, can you really imagine coming to a place called 'Surfers Paradise' and not actually surfing.  

There are many options for you to experience the great waves of the Gold Coast:

(1) Total beginners should join an introduction learn to surf lesson, these lessons generally run for 2 hours, with all the equipment provided and experienced instructors take you through a step by step process until you can catch a wave and stand up. Learn to Surf Lessons in Surfers Paradise are held in small waves and waist depth water so it is suitable for kids and adults to join. We recommend the 1st Wave Surf School, they are owner operated,  the instructors are local surfers with years of experience. 


(2) Intermediate surfers can hire a surfing guide for a morning surf, a private refresher or progressional surf lesson or take a surfing day tour and experienced the best waves on the Gold Coast. Surf the Snapper super bank, check out the famous barrells at Burleigh Heads and use their local knowledge to surf the best sand banks on the Gold Coast.  Once again we recommend contacting Reagan from 1st Wave Surf School. 



(3) If you have already had a beginners surf lesson there are a few places in Surfers Paradise where you can hire a soft beginners surfboard for a half day or day, however if you are an intermediate or experienced surfer its not as easy to rent a performance surfboard. Surfboard rental prices can vary a lot, we believe we have the most competitive prices and the best range of hire surfboards on the Gold Coast. Add that with free delivery, plus tips and advice from our staff who are all Surfing Australia Surfing Coaches who surf everyday and you are guaranteed an awesome surfing experience while you holiday on the Gold Coast.

WINTER SURFING AND MORNING COFFEE



A perfect start to winter on the Gold Coast, beautiful weather, nice waves, spectacular sunrises, 23 degree water temp and the aroma of fresh coffee in the air. They just go together surfing and coffee, over recent days I have had some great waves at TOS (south straddie), Main Beach and Miami, hitting it with a few mates super early and paddling out as the sun is coming up over the horizon. But after some nice waves the call always goes out "who's in for coffee". We are blessed to have a huge range of great coffee shops either on the beachfront or across the road from the beach and I have sampled many of them sipping on coffee and warming up in the morning sunshine.  Piccollo cafe at Miami was yesterdays location and I can recommend them for great coffee and fresh warm banana bread plus a good choice of other tasty delights. You find them at the southern end of Marine Parade at the base of the Miami surf club.  Some really nice sand banks out the front too.
