It includes a full time Accountant, a National Group bookings manager, a National Business Development Manager, a full time and a part time Director (2 additional full time Directors are based at Noosa Heads and Surfers Paradise).

Go Ride A Wave is highly computerised. We have utilised our own online bookings program for several years. Staffing, wages, availability and staff and equipment logistics are all handled through our own “Access” group bookings program.
