The jet ski hiring experience was excellent at Surfers Paradise. Proper Yamaha jet skis here not the watered down hire ones you get elsewhere. The team were very friendly and there was no extra charge to have two people on one jet ski would definitely recommend

We were a group of middle aged friends who fancied trying paddleboarding for the 1st time.
The team were excellent at getting back to our inquiries, and updated us re the best time to come as a 1st learner when the wind was low.
On the day we (4 females ages 49-51) were allocated the lovely Jennifer who took us through the basics. We were out on the water giving it a go within 15 minutes...we loved it.
Being out on the sea, with the safety of the instructor being close, and the view of the beach, and again ble beneath was a genuine highlight to our holiday.
3 out of 4 of us, managed to stand up on the 1st lesson....we all wished we'd gone earlier in our holiday so we could go do it again and improve.
The team were very professional, and friendly and all the equipment was well maintained and in good order.
Thank you Surfers Paradise for a great time! Cost was €35 each for 1hr. Tho you can just hire paddle boarding equipment for €22. We felt the cost was worth the experience...unforgettable, lovely time!

Surfers Paradise was a great spot for us for a couple of days. We enjoyed hanging out at the beach and all the staff were very friendly.
Patrick was excellent at instructing the Wing-Foil and got me up and foiling as well as setting me up and pushing me to go further.
Good vibes and close to local amenities and the old town which is great to explore too.

Class started 45 minutes late and finished 15 minutes early. Got 75 minutes for the price of 90, great deal, surfer paradise!! Those lost 15 minutes are all the more important considering that you don’t really spend that much time in the water with the board for a first lesson. Anyway, considering that there are two other board rental/schools on the same street, I recommend trying another place. On the plus side, Neil (the instructor) was good and friendly.

Dear Charles,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience with us, both positive and constructive.
I apologise that we did not get the timing of your class right today. We work hard in maintaining the schedule on a busy and windy day like today. Our highest priority is to give quality classes for each student but that can cause slight delays at times.
We are sorry to hear that you did not mention the issue today as we could offer to resolve it immediately. If you are still here in the coming days we would like to offer you 1 additional hour to make things right. Please contact us directly to book that hour in!
Thank you once again for your comments, we will work even harder to get the timing of our classes right in the future.
Warm regards,
Antonio

Charming and cool place 🤙. Good wind every day (I stayed 9days) in crescendo from the morning to the afternoon! I had a package of 6 lessons (intermediate) and 7 days equipment.
Excellent staff, super friendly! Well equipped with boards and sails.

I very warmly recommend this place. We were here for windsurfing lesson and rental in October 2021 and had a great time. Very friendly staff and nice equipment. We used only the beginner stuff, but they had plenty of nice equipment also for more skilled windsurfers. My wife and kids (13 and 15) had beginner's lessons and were very happy with their instructors. I had an "improver" lesson and was also taught how to use a harness. We had some waves one of the days, but even for my wife and kids, the staff turned it into a fun, pleasant and completely safe experience. They were all eager to go back for their second lesson two days later. (Their is a small kiosk right next door for drinks and snacks and an excellent lunch place a couple of hundred meters south along the beach.)

My third time hiring at Surfers Paradise. The equipment is great and well maintained. The staff are super friendly and very helpful and I've had great wind on each visit. Highly recommended. Six stars. They keep a close eye on you to make sure you are all-right. It has a bit of a shore break which is the only negative. I have been windsurfing for over 25 years so i did not have any lessons, but from a distance the instructors seemed very good.

We visited for both the jet skis and the windsurfing instruction course and had a fantastic time on both.
Patrick was our windsurfing instructor and is a fantastic tutor. After a short instruction and simulator practice on the beach, we were in the water and up on the board straight away. At all times Patrick was nearby to assist with instruction and any aid needed. We are total beginners and had a great time. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested. Thank you Patrick for making it such fun!

This was my fifth time at the center. I rented for a week. The equipment is top notch and well maintained. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The instructors are excellent. Worth visiting for windsurf hire, instruction or jet ski hire.
As usual, the wind was good to great, 80% of the time I was there.

Do you do hourly windsurfing equipment and what will be the rental price?
Written August 26, 2015
Hello!
You can indeed do hourly windsurf rental, which is 27€ p. hour.
Optionally you can take a package of 5 or 10 hours and split them over several days, 5 hours is 120€ and 10 hours 180€.
The rental includes all the necessary gear.
should you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us again.
best regards,
Quen

Generally just windsurfing, but if the conditions allow for surfing we'd be happy to show you. We also offer stand up paddling which is similar.
should you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.
