    What a great experience we had, Johnny was outstanding especially since we had never surfed before, we were all able to get up and catch a wave.

    Had the most amazing 4 days of surfing lessons with Johnny at Coolangatta. He made it fun and easy to understand and encouraged you the whole time. We had dolphins and whales which was an added bonus. You definitely need to add this to your list of things to do while you’re here. I’ll be back!

    I did the three lesson surf course and had an amazing time! Over the three lessons I had two different teachers- Johnny and Arthur. They were both excellent at explaining technique and giving helpful feedback and encouragement. They were friendly, clearly very skilled, and made the whole experience comfortable, fun, and not overwhelming. It was also completely comfortable doing this class alone without a friend (although that would be fun too). Overall a really positive experience, and I felt like I was genuinely improving my skills over the three lessons.

    Wonderful experience learning to surf with Arthur. I went from never having touched a surfboard to successfully making it all the way in to the beach a couple of times. Quality instruction, lots of fun, and an all around positive experience.

    My 14 year-old son and I had a lesson with Johnny. My son is intermediate and I am a beginner and we both gained so much from our lesson. My son improved his technique incredibly - tweaks and feedback that will make significant difference to him developing his surfing skills going forward. He gave me a great starting point and basic skills to work on, as well as the confidence to continue to practice to develop skills! We would both highly recommend a lesson with Johnny - great teacher and great bloke!

    Highly recommend doing surfing lessons with Go Ride a Wave - Coolangatta. The booking process was easy and we were kept up to date with reminders before the booking date. The Instructor, Arthur, was patient and had a lot of good safety tips in regard to the Rips and currents. We had a group of 7 and each of us commented on how easy Arthur made the instruction on getting from laying on the board to standing up. We will be back! Thank you.

    My son and I signed up for a series of lessons and had a blast. We have tried learn to surf lessons in different countries, and this one is by far the best. Johnny is an excellent instructor - able to quickly adapt to whatever skill level you are at and give useful, real life pointers on how to read waves, execute turns, and learn the unwritten rules of surf etiquette. What a unique treat to benefit from his years of experience and expert knowledge. Will be back for more!

    My partner and I had a great day learning to surf. Arthur was a great instructor and we’d go back again just because of him!

    John does a fantastic job of explaining clearly the techniques and reasons behind them. Really great classed that advanced me as a beginner and had a lot of fun.
