Fulfill that teenage dream and take a surf lesson ($50 for two hours, special package deals available) at 1st Wave Surf School, located right next to the Kiosk. The waves can be rough but the teachers are inspiring. They cater for everyone, from kids to 75 year olds, and, as instructor Reagon reassures, they have even taught a blind man. Get there a little early to get kitted up and matched with the right board, then head down to the beach where catching waves will be broken down into manageable steps. Warning: if you are weak or unfit, you will still have fun but will need to take it easy for a few days afterwards.
After the surf lesson, guzzle some water and get your muscles fixed with a traditional Japanese massage. The best Shiatsu treatment is found in unlikely location – Southport Plaza, a short drive from Main Beach. In the foyer, Shiatsu tables manned by slight Japanese ladies offer a $10 ten minute trial. You’ll love it so much you will extend to ½ an hour or longer.
By lunchtime, you will be famished so mosey up to Surfers Paradise, the hotspot of the Gold Coast, and eat lunch. Bypass the expense and long lines of Cavill Avenue (the mall area) and pop into the surf club for a $9.00 Barra wrap. (Barra is short for Barramundi fish in Queensland Speak). It’s healthy and filling and a choice of interstate brew is available on tap. They also sell cheaper burgers and fare that the fussiest child will eat. Sit outside and you might spot the famous meter maids ($12 for a photo) walking around in gold bikinis amongst a very multicultural tourist parade.
