Daily Beginner & Intermediate Surf Lessons in Noosa

We had a really good time on our surfing lesson - the instruction and safety talk at the beginning were very informative and then we had plenty of time in the water. The instructors watched each person surf in so they could give tips on how to improve the next time. Absolutely fantastic lesson - would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience! Everything was so well organised, amazing value for money and the instructors were so helpful and encouraging. I was a complete beginner and by the end of the lesson, I felt so much more confident and had such an incredible time surfing. Thank you so much for such an amazing morning!

The best experience. From making the booking right through to the end of the session. Couldn’t recommend it more. We attended as a group and by the end of it, we all had stood up and had heaps of runs into the shore… alongside heaps of fails and laughs. The instructors were great at breaking down and communicating a complex skill and made us all feel safe in an unfamiliar environment. Thanks Crof, CJ and Pheonix for such a great time.

After 2 years of surfing without having had proper instructions I was failing at even popping up on surfboard. I attended a 5 day lesson with Merrick's Surfing School and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were given the same instructor for the duration of 5 days (Crof) and with proper guidance and individualised feedback I was catching Left/Right unbroken waves and turning with ease plus moving up and down the surfboard. Thank you Crof for making this such a memorable experience and we'll be back to Noosa to catch up with you soon 🤙Also huge thanks to the rest of the crew: Yanik, CJ, Luis, Rob, Paul and of course Merrick!

Having never surfed before, and in fact having not much prior experience with the ocean, I signed up for a 5-day surfing course with my partner and friends as a personal challenge. I set myself the goal of being comfortable in the water with a board and being able to pop up, but I far surpassed my expectations. Under the instruction of Crawford, by the end of the five days I was catching green waves independently and turning! Crawford was a phenomenal teacher, providing individualised feedback and encouragement, and teaching us many important things not just about surfing, but also the ocean and how to pick a board. Crawford and everyone else at Merrick's surf school were so friendly and approachable, and we really enjoyed chatting with everyone before and after classes. Can't recommend this surf school enough!

Just awesome! The personnel is really nice and attentive. They surely know what they are doing. The place is perfect because the beach is shallow and safe enough to be able to learn surfing from 0.

Awesome experience. First time surfing for my two teenage daughters. They did a two hour private lesson with Anthony and it was absolutely fantastic. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to surf.

I took a private surf class and was thoroughly impressed with the instructor, Merrick, and the overall experience. Not only did Merrick provide clear and concise instructions, but he also provided a safe and fun atmosphere for learning. The waters were perfect for beginners like me and I had a lot of fun! By the end of the class, I was able to catch waves on my own and ride it all the way to the shore. Overall, the surf class was a fun and memorable experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in learning to surf. You won't be disappointed! Thank you, Merrick and team, for this fun session!
