Surfing
The GSLC SURF program has been running since 2014. We split the students into 2 groups consisting of Junior surfing (yrs 4-5) and Senior surfing (yrs 6-12). Intermediate and advanced students also have the opportunity to work with acclaimed surf coach Dean Brady of Noosa Surfing Academy on Thursday afternoons with our development squad.
We run a surfing morning once a week (weather and forecast permitting) where students can hang out with their mates and surf in a fun, non-competitive environment. Incorporated within the program, we have been running international surf trips including previous trips to Samoa and Sumatra.
The Senior program is run by GSLC staff Jim Tomkins and Paul Stacey. and the Junior program is run by Jim Tomkins and James Bourne.
Jim and Paul hold ASI accredited surfing Instructor level 1 certificates, whilst all of our teachers are current with first aid and QLD SLS board rescue certifications.
We also provide the option of a more focused progression squad with Dean Brady from Noosa Surfing Academy on Thursday afternoons.
