Great Value! - My 14 and 16 year old boys learned very quickly with this surf school. The price was well worth it. The instructors were kind, patient, and encouraging. My boys stood up quickly, so I know the training was great! Highly recommend!

Fun, encouraging and professional surf instructors - Excellent communication prior to the pick up. We knew exactly what to expect and where we would be picked up. The driver was courteous and took us to their surf shop. From there they showed us a video to help us visualize the process. The instructors were all kind, encouraging and fun. We all got up after 1 try, some of us got up on the first try! Don't hesitate to use these guys, they are professionals. I saw 8 year olds get up, 20 year olds, 50 year olds and even one 65 year old all get up.

Highly recommend - Very helpful and responsive when we made booking (last minute). On arrival everything was well organised with detailed briefing safety video. Surf instructor Luke was amazing and our teenage boys had an incredible time. To top it off, you can purchase photos and video at reasonable price (remember to tick pre-pay when you book lesson, well worth the discount and memory keepsake).

Awesome!! Could not... - Awesome!! Could not recommend more :) Instructors were super friendly and encouraging and made the experience fun for all experience levels. They made sure we were able to catch as many waves as possible and gave constructive feedback after each wave. This was the highlight of our trip for sure. Shoutout to our teacher Mark for his encouragement and teaching, was great to surf with you!

Great experience - Very nice lesson. You start as a group to explain the basic than there is one instructor per 2 people. But the other instructors on the water also the ones taking pictures are there to help and guide your safety. We had the instructor Tyler very good & calm. Very straight & clear instructions. Take 2 hours! As a beginner you need it.

Great experience, not as exclusive as you might expect - Even if you book out a semi-private session (we booked 2 instructors for 4 people), there’s a large group of participants and instructors surfing at the same time in the area, so it’s not as exclusive as you might want it to be. But the instructors were really helpful and encouraging. We had a great time learning the basics of surfing and riding the waves.
