Who are we and why learn with us?

Surf Connect, founded in 2005, is Brisbane’s only IKO & AWSA accredited school. Other than IKO & AWSA, we also have qualified instructors with RYA (Royal Yachting Association), SA (Sailing Australia), BKSA, VDWS and NSSIA.

IKO (International Kiteboarding Organisation) is the world's most recognised Association and has over 300 centers around the world. Its structured and superb teaching program has allowed us to introduce the sport safely and professionally. Over the last 21 years, we have introduced our sports to over 50,000 students.

Every kite student receives a Certification Card at every lesson. This allows you to monitor your own progress. IKO membership and certification is also included in the lesson price, if you take an IKO Kitesurf lesson. The membership allows you to rent gear, enjoy discounts, access training videos, even purchase insurance with IKO if you wish.

We are open 7 days a week with our main base on the northside of Brisbane at Sandgate. We also conduct lessons on the Gold Coast as well as the Sunshine Coast. After your first lesson, you’ll receive 10% discount on all future lessons.

Also after your learning, you can claim back what you spent on lessons as purchase discount (upto 4 hours worth, voucher bookings excluded) towards any of our stocked packages - making your training even more rewarding. Buying from us also give you free membership to our Exclusive Club for life-time on-going support and advice each and every time you come kiting, discount on all accessories including wetsuits and the like, our weekly and holiday trips and many more.

You will not find a better or safer learning opportunity than with Surf Connect. So, what are you waiting for? Make your booking today and learn with the Pros! We also do Gift Vouchers for your loved ones.
