Hang Ten Surf School is a surf instruction provider based in Bilinga, Queensland, offering tailored lessons and multi-day programs for learners of all ages and abilities. Located on the Gold Coast, the school runs group surf lessons for beginners and intermediate surfers, private one-on-one coaching, and a school holiday program designed for children. Sessions emphasize water safety, paddling technique, standing up on the board, wave selection, turning, timing and confidence-building in the ocean.

Private lessons deliver individualized feedback and technique adjustment for rapid improvement.
