Great surf lesson - I had such a fun surf lesson and I’d totally recommend this surf school! The vibe was super relaxed and friendly, and even as a beginner I felt really comfortable. A special thanks to Simon our instructor, he was awesome! He helped everyone, was super enthusiastic, and gave individual tips to help us improve. His enthusiasm and encouragement made the lesson so much fun.

Best Day Out I’ve Had In A Long Time! - Had my first ever surf lesson with these guys and the whole lesson was absolutely fantastic! By the end of the first session I was feeling much more confident in being able to stand up on the board and being able to catch some waves! Couldn’t fault any of the instructors and they really went out their way to make things as easy as possible for us! I can’t wait to carry what I’ve learnt so far into more surfing in the near future! Couldn’t recommend doing this more!

Super fun successful surf session! - Super great lesson with Lottie! She made it easy to learn the 3 step moves and was super friendly and easy to get along with! Felt super safe and comfortable in the water with her and she helped us all catch some great waves and we were all standing by the end of the session! We didn’t surf on the main beach in Byron but only drove for 20 minutes South for better waves. Great fun and a great company to go with even having a quick dip in the Lennox head tea tree lake at the end of the session ! Unfortunately no photographer on the day I went but refund for pre bought photos sorted quickly

Great surf school - Such a fantastic first introduction to surfing with some really cool people. We were split into three different groups for availability and it really helped us find our legs . Would definitely surf with these guys again , wish we had longer to do a couple more days with them!

We had a brilliant... - We had a brilliant morning surfing in Byron. We even managed to stand up a few times which we were not expecting. The instructors managed the group well for everyone’s capabilities. Highly recommend whilst visiting Byron Bay!

Awwesome Surf experience with cool trainers! - Amazing experience with skilled and friendly trainers! Our trainers Lotti & Lawrence were very nice and competent. Already on our first day, we managed to stand on the board and keep balance. (I hope the name Lotti is correct!)

Lack of advice and a bit dissapointing - At first glance, we had a good impression and were able to stand a few waves during our first surf lesson. Compared to another surf school in Byron bay we got only a few instructions in Soul Surf School how surfing works, also the group was significantly larger than described.
