The lessons are all about fun, safety and building a love for the water that lasts long after the lesson ends. With lessons tailored for beginners, every child leaves with a sense of achievement and a smile as wide as the beach itself. Parents can relax knowing their kids are in the best hands, learning in a supportive and nurturing environment right on the Broadbeach shoreline. The perfect way to spend a morning or afternoon, blending adventure with the magic of the Gold Coast coastlines. **What to Bring **A swimsuit they don’t mind getting sandy or wet. Rash vest if they burn easily. A towel and a change of clothes for the car ride home. Don’t forget sunscreen, even on cloudy days. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated between lessons. **Best Age Range **Perfect for kids aged 5 to 12 years. Younger siblings can join in with family lessons or beach play under close supervision. **Good to Know **Lessons run for 1.5 hours and include all gear. Book online in advance, especially during school holidays. Parking is free on Old Burleigh Road near the beach access points. Lessons are held in small groups for personalised attention. **Nearby **Visit the Broadbeach Parklands for a picnic or playground session after lessons. A short stroll away is the Kurrawa Park playground, a hit with kids and parents alike. **Tips From Other Parents **Arrive 15 minutes early to check-in and get fitted for boards. The early morning lessons are less crowded and the ocean is calmer. If your child is nervous, let the instructors know — they’re pros at building confidence step by step.
