Walkin on Water is a licensed Surfing Queensland and Surfing Australia Surf School. We are also a registered member of the International Surf Association's Surf School register. The ISA is the world governing body for surfing. Of all the surf schools on the Gold Coast, we are the southern most surf school affiliated with the State and National Surfing body on the Gold Coast, using the sensational beaches of Greenmount, Coolangatta and Rainbow Bay. There are only 18 surf schools with these affiliations in Queensland with only 7 of these found on the Gold Coast. A Gold Coast surf school is the best place to come and learn to surf. We have fantastic conditions all year round with our water only going down to just below 20 degrees celcius so it is magic all through the year. Of all the Gold Coast surf schools, Walkin' On Water is the premier Gold Coast surf school.
It is very simple to find the premier Gold Coast Surf School. For all learn to surf and surf lessons we meet at our big red truck which is parked at the southern end of the Greenmount car park. We run our surf lessons on the beaches of Rainbow Bay, Greenmount and Coolangatta, depending on conditions and where is best at that time on that day. For more specific location details, please go to the Location Page.
In our Gold Coast Surf School, we have small learn to surf lessons with a maximum of 8 surfers to each coach in the surf. This ensures that everyone gets a lot of time with the coaches and heaps of feedback from the instructors as well as keeping it as safe as we can out in the surf. Not only are our learn to surf and surf lessons heaps of fun but they will also teach you a lot about the surf, waves, equipment and the ocean and seas.
All of our coaches are not only fully qualified Surfing Australia Surf Coaches plus all are qualified Surf Life Savers/Life Guards and most are also active Beach Lifesavers/Lifeguards. You can get more information on our coaches and their qualifications on 'Our Surf Crew' page.
We run learn to surf lessons every day of the year at our Gold Coast surf school. You can book in for learn to surf group lessons, one on one private surf lessons or private group surf lessons by phone at our WoW office, on our Walkinonwater Surf Line mobile or by using the Walkin On Water booking email below. Our Gold Coast surf coaching instructs and coaches people who have never been in the surf before, people who have the basics and want to progress, intermeidates on the plateau wanting to get over the next stump and all the way up to throwing the big turns and really carving up the surf for those already with a good grip on it but wanting to improve further. Our surf coaching is not only informative and beneficial to you technically but also a lot of fun.
We can also organise Corporate Days, Parties and other private and business functions to suit your plans and ideas. A new program that we are offering are the Surf Sports Program which is a fantastic program run in conjunction with the Tweed Heads and Coolangatta Surf Life Saving Club and combines surf instruction and surf coaching with Surf Life Saving Award Training.
