⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Me and my girlfriend had a private lesson with Joel and loved every single minute of it. It was our very first surf lesson and picked it up super fast due to our amazing instructor. 5 stars!

Great first surf lesson - My daughter and I had our first surf lesson with instructor Joel. Learned so much, well worth the private lesson. Joel was a great instructor with lots of great advice around surfing techniques and water safety, all done with lots of fun. Highly recommend a visit!

Ride a wave week - The kids had the best week with the ride a wave crew, who made sure each kid had individual 1:1 time to hone their skills asked on age and experience. The crew made each lesson memorable and informative and most of all fun. Highly recommend to do with siblings or friends as a group

Stand up paddle boarding - Cobber was a highly professional, friendly and knowledgable instructor. This was my very first attempt at stand up paddle boarding and I couldn't have asked for a more patient, encouraging and informative instructor. I had so much fun (and managed to maintain my balnce on the board) it was the highlight of my trip.

Stand Up Paddle Board - I was a little apprehensive undertaking a solo SUP lesson but I needn’t have been. My instructor, my guide, my guru was Joel and I was so very fortunate to be paired with him. We paddled around the waterways of Anglesea and we chatted like two friends would, it was effortless and so much fun. I really cannot speak highly enough of Joel and his positive and nurturing demeanour. I recommend a solo lesson, it was great to be able to have that one on one interaction and honestly, after a little while I could not call it a lesson at all as it was simply two people paddling around chatting and enjoying the experience, I shall be back in a few months for a one on one surf lesson, and I shall be requesting the Joel is my instructor!

Great experience - even in winter! - Fantastic experience for three German exchange students. The instructor was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, making the whole session really fun. It was a bucket list item ticked off for these boys.
