Semi Pro = Fully Awesome! - my son and I visited the soul surf school on a spring break trip. We did the semipro package and stayed in a private room. The hotel was clean. The staff was accommodating and friendly, and the surf instructors were awesome at what they did definitely recommend the rooftop bar amazing experience! A+

Fantastic surf school! - We did an afternoon lesson with Soul Surf and loved it! The lessons are really well organised and tailored to all abilities to help you progress. I had previously had a more hands off style lesson with another surf school without much success, but with soul surf I managed to stand up by the end! The instructors were all super friendly and knowledgable. Would highly recommend and would have loved to do another lesson if we were in Byron for longer :)

The best surf school! - Definitely the best surf classes I had! The initial plan was to go just for one class but I loved it so much that extended my stay in Byron Bay to take two more. The coaches made sure you are focusing on the elements you want and always asked if there is anything else I would like to learn. The atmosphere is great and I really appreciated we did drive to “empty” spot.

3 Night Surf and Stay - We booked the 3 Night Surf and Stay with Soul Surf School and It was the most amazing experience. Over the three days we learned the basic principles of surfing, safety tips and had a chance to progress our skills in the water under the supervision of the instructors. Steph, Matt, Ben and Lawrence were all really patient, encouraging and made the lessons so much fun. The vibes were amazing every day, they always kept the energy up and made sure everyone was having a great time. On the last day Angel the photographer took amazing photos of our group which we were able to purchase at the end which was a really nice touch too. Would 100% recommend Soul Surf School to anyone looking to surf for the first time or to advance their skills, we will definitely be back for more lessons in the future. Thanks guys!!

Brilliant family experience - We had a fantastic family lesson with Caleb. He took us to a prefect spot for our beginner level. We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children aged 12 and 9. We had never surfed before. We all had great fun and managed to stand up and surf several waves during the lesson. Caleb was great with the kids, keeping them engaged and encouraging them throughout the 3 hours. Thanks for a great surfing experience, we’ll definitely be doing it again!
