Terry and his mates were very nice and explained everything very well. - If you want to get into surfing, this is definitely a good opportunity without spending too much money.

Surf course with heart, humor and passion - We did a surf course in Byron Bay with our three children. The owner of the surf school is really a special personality – very warm, enthusiastic and with a lot of experience. Despite difficult conditions, he has done everything to make it a nice experience for all of us. Because of the current shark warnings in Byron Bay, we dodged Flatrock Beach near Ballina – a beautiful beach for our course. Our children had a lot of fun and felt in good hands. Overall, a very positive experience, which we are happy to recommend.

Nice guys and good waves! - It was s funny and amazing tour. We had a lot of fun bc we was amateurs. Some of us already surfed before and the teaching was only with the guide so solo training was not possible.

So much fun! - A great day surfing with Terry and the crew. Highly recommend. Cheapest price we have found for surfing class on the east coast. Whole class managed to stand up and surf by the end of the lesson so it’s well worth the money!

Fun surf lesson. - Had a really fun lesson with Kool Katz. Terry was an interesting character, I liked him just make sure you have a sense of humour and you’ll be fine haha. Surf tips were helpful, and got everyone in the group to stand up by the end of the session so it really does work. I’d have enjoyed more time in the water and maybe a few goes on my own without assistance from coaches but I understand their methods. Really good price for the class and it’s worth doing.
