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
To any school considering this program; Walkin on Water’s Learn to Surf course is an excellent activity for school children. Our group of teenage boys were fully engaged and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Walkin on Water developed an instant rapport with the group and led the boys through sequential and safe activities for all to progress and achieve success in the surf. Walkin on Water’s staff allowed safety in the surf as well as providing regular and positive feedback to help the surfers. It was a great introduction for those who have never surfed before and for those with some experience, their skills were fine-tuned to allow further progress. Coupled with the Surf Rescue program, the camp was full of variety with theory and practical sessions. And best of all, the boys were keen to go to sleep at night!! Thanks Walkin on Water for a fun and enjoyable week. We would fully recommend the Walkin on Water surf programs to any school.
