Introducing a number of different types of boards and body surfing into our sessions and having them available for the children, gives them great choice as to what they would like to play and catch waves on and gives them the ability to change throughout the sessions.

The children all have a fantastic time and it also teaches them many new skills and helps them gain the important confidence in the ocean and waves.

Teachers Feedback

We have been using Walkin’ on Water’s surf skills program for the past 11 years. They offer a highly engaging and educational program covering surfing skills, water awareness and ocean safety. Our students love their summer surf lessons and it is great to see not only their surf skills improve but to also watch their confidence grow. Walkin’ on Water’s staff have the necessary skills and knowledge to offer a program that our teachers don’t have the confidence to deliver. I highly recommend Jamo and his team. Fiona, St Josephs Primary School, Tweed Heads

CHAC has been utilising the exceptional services of Walkin’ on Water for 10 Years. In that time they have always impressed in the way they can deliver courses in line with a dynamic curriculum and differing student needs and abilities.
Working with professionals such as Jamo, Dan and their crew adds to the learning experience by making it fun and engaging. Whether it be considering the forces of nature and wave types, beach safety or learning how to negotiate a rip current our Oceanography students always leave the coast wiser and better equipped with real educational outcomes and enhanced life skills. Anthony, Cannon Hill Anglican College, Cannon Hill

THPS has been surfing with WOW for around 10 years, and wouldn’t go anywhere else! We have always appreciated the professionalism and enthusiasm we encounter through WOW. The communication about the program from Jamo and Dan is always quick and positive, and the communication from Dan and the coaches towards the kids is at their level and very friendly and welcoming. The kids enjoy every aspect of their lessons and look forward to coming again the next time. Several students continue their lessons on after the program has finished as they are so keen and confident. The program really supports a range of abilities by making the students feel safe and respected, and they feel confident and excited about having a go and challenging themselves. The coaches take safety very seriously and this is a great comfort to all teachers, students and parents. I can highly recommend WOW! Sophie, Tweed Heads Public School, Tweed Heads
