Currumbin Alley Surf School

Teaching at Currumbin Alley since 1993, this school works one of the Gold Coast's most learner-friendly breaks, where a gentle, protected entrance suits first-timers. Group and private lessons sit alongside school-holiday programs, six-week challenges for adults and kids, women's longboard courses and softboard hire. The team is fully licensed and insured, and the school has taken TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice award three years running.
