Great little adventure
Fun, active and scenic. Arms got a workout but the views were worth it. Nice small group and a knowledgeable, friendly guide.

So serene
Gliding through the mirrored waterways was magic. Saw sea eagles and turtles along the way. A calm, beautiful escape from the busy spots.

Lovely relaxed morning
Easy enough for a first-timer and the guide pointed out heaps of wildlife. The still water and mirror reflections were beautiful.

Paddling paradise
Glassy water, dolphins in the distance and a super chilled guide. Kayaking here was so peaceful and the scenery was gorgeous. Loved every minute.

Kayaking was a highlight
The guide was fantastic and the route was stunning. Perfect mix of paddling and floating along soaking it all in. Would do it again.

About Surf Progressive Course
Operated by Go Ride A Wave · 6 Hours · Coolangatta, QLD
Set yourself up for smoother, more confident surfing with a progressive lesson on Coolangatta Beach, one of the Gold Coast’s best stretches of sand for learning and levelling up. With long, forgiving waves and a sheltered orientation that helps take the edge off wind and swell, it’s a brilliant spot to build your skills in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Whether you’re standing on a board for the first time or you’re ready to sharpen your turns and timing, this course gives you personalised coaching that meets you where you’re at. You’ll spend real time in the water, working on the essentials, reading the waves, and getting practical feedback from an experienced instructor who knows how to help you progress without feeling rushed. Come for the lesson, stay for that unbeatable feeling when everything clicks and you ride a wave with confidence.
Know before you go: - Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and a hat or rash vest for sun protection. - Wear comfortable clothes you can change out of easily before the lesson. - Check in at Coolangatta Beach before your scheduled start time so you have time to get ready. - This session suits both beginners and intermediate surfers, so the coaching will be adapted to your level. - Conditions can change with the weather and swell, so follow your instructor’s safety advice on the day.
