Get Wet Surf School
Services:
Get Wet Surf School offer surf lessons
to cater for everyone from the ages of 5
through to 75 years, for all levels of surfing
ability. Surfing is an awesome way to keep
fit and promotes a healthy outdoor life
style and it is our mission to introduce as
many people as we can, both young and
old, to this wonderful sport.
Our 5 day Vegemite Surfgroms programs
are held every school holidays for 5 to 12
year olds is unique as we are the only surf
school in Australia to kick off the program’s first session in the awesome Cave
of Waves wave pool at WhiteWater World.
The wave pool offers a fantastic environment for the children to gain confidence
and develop the basic’s of surfing in a
controlled environment with crystal clear
perfect waves. For 13 and up we offer
our Surfing Essentials programs which
is based on the very successful Vegemite SurfGroms. For anyone just wanting to jump on a board and see if they like
it, our daily scheduled group lessons are
designed to get you out in the water and
standing up so you can experience the
thrill and even get a new Facebook profile pic.
We cater for corporate and school groups,
hens and buck events, bucket listers,
international students and anyone who
wants to GET WET.

Location:
Get Wet operates beach lessons every day
at the beautiful Main Beach Spit. Located just a few kilometres north of Seaworld, the spit provides a perfect location for
surfers of all levels. The Seaway wall and
the Sand pumping jetty provide protection unlike the open more exposed beaches and the formation of great sand banks
means that the participants don’t have to
be in deep water to be able to catch a nice
long ride.
Get Wet are proud to be a Surfing Australia accredited surf school and have now
also gained Australian Tourism Accreditation. Get Wet are committed to continuous improvement within the business and
also within the both the Surfing and Tourism industries.
Of course Get Wet also have exclusive
access to the Cave of Waves wave pool
located at Dreamworld’s water park WhiteWater World where the waves are perfect,
water is crystal clear and heated in winter.
Instructors:
Andrew and Kerri realise how important it
is to have instructors who are as passionate about the business as they. Their full
time instructors have been a big part on
the growth of the business over the years
and love what they do. They realise how
important it is that the students feel safe
and comfortable throughout the entire
experience and at the same time they also
do whatever they can to ensure that you
have FUN. Our instructors are in the water
with the students for the entire lesson and
because their instructors are so experienced Get Wet are able to offer a 100%
guarantee “stand up in the first lesson or
