Great experience! - Booked a group lesson and I was the only one to book so I ended up getting a solo lesson ! Great experience as someone who had never tried surfing before, Johnny is a great instructor who is very friendly and knowledgeable. Johnny made it easy to feel comfortable trying something new, I was able to get standing right away and ride waves for the entire lesson with his instruction!

Great experience! - Amazing surf lesson with Johnny! He is a great instructor, I was able to stand up every single time with his instruction and it was my first time ever surfing! Coolangatta beach is a great beach to learn at as the waves are not too big. Very friendly person who made it easy and comfortable to try something new!

Best surf instructor on the Goldy - Without doubt the best surf instructor on the Coast. Johnny has priceless experience and a way of teaching that suits any level of experience. Gave our son one of the best days of his life and you could see Johnny was nearly as thrilled as him to see him doing well. Don’t waste your time on others.

Great fun in the surf, learning from a pro - Had a great time. Tarj was a great teacher, very thorough. So much better learning the right way than having a go and getting it consistently wrong. Also good advice on safety and wave/rip info.
