The centre piece of our Gold Coast Learn to Surf Lessons are our structured learn to lesson plans that we have developed specificly for the Gold Coast. We believe that a good grounding, understanding and practice of movements on land aids and enables faster progression for the beginner to learn to surf. With this in mind, our lessons for beginners typically are divided into three segments. These all flow on from each other and have produced very successful results - making the learn to surf process simpler and ultimately more successful with heaps of added fun.

The initial stage of our Gold Coast Learn to Surf lesson is a demonstration by a member of our Surf Crew on the techniques, and positions of the various aspects of surfing. Everything from the holding of the board, mounting and paddling to standing up is demonstrated. This gives our students something in their mind to start building their learning process on and gives them a mental picture of the movements.

The next Learn to Surf Lesson progression is to take our boards to the beach. Once again, the same movements as were initially demonstrated, are shown again. With lots of help and feedback, students practice these movements on the sand and get the feeling of what needs to be done in the water when you catch the wave. This will build on the picture students have started to form in their minds as to what needs to be done to successfully surf. Our Gold Coast learn to surf lessons envisage giving every participant a variety of different learning stimuli to maximise knowlegde and information uptake.

Once everyone is comfortable with this (and after some safety reminders), we hit the water and progress to the main segment of each and every one of our Gold Coast learn to surf lessons and where the fun really starts to happen — practice in the waves. This is where the real action takes place! Everyone enjoys the fun and challenge of riding the whitewater and the wipeouts that happen while trying to put all this new knowledge to use. Our learn to surf lessons on the Gold Coast are all about having a go, having a laugh and trying to put everything together!

Learn to Surf lessons with Walkin' On Water are not only heaps of fun but are also broken down in to small components to make the learn to surf journey as easy as possible. Our learn to surf lesson structure and teachign methodology aims to ensure all your learning senses are looked after. By breaking the movements down into simple basic steps, by explaining and demonstrating, by having students feel what it is like and then with students practicing the movements on the sand before hitting the water makes the learn to surf experience not only enjoyable but far from the daunting exercise some think it will be. Learn to surf is a fantastic way to have a lot of fun, learn something new and get in some great exercise. When you learn to surf, you will use a lot of energy - and won't need the gym at the end of the day!!

We have had the full spectrum of participants learn to surf on the Gold Coast with us. It's not only the young ones that come and learn to surf but also those with a couple more years under their belt. So far we have had an age range that have come to learn to surf with us from 4 years old right up to 78 years old and everything in between. Not only has there been a huge age range that have come and joined in our learn to surf Gold Coast lessons but we have also had a huge range of nationalities from all over the world including from the Asian countries, to the North and South American countries, Europeans from the east, west, north and south and the many island countries - not to mention the vast number of Australians, both locals and those holidaying up our way.
