Freakin awesome day out with the surf school, the instructor was such a great guy, safety conscious, got everyone standing up on the water in no time. Really good tuition and also some useful info about how waves form, where rips occur, point breaks, beach breaks and reef breaks. What a day out. Would deffo go back again, loved it so much and highly recommend this school to anyone thinking of a surfing lesson in Byron, you won’t be disappointed.

The water conditions wasn't the greatest on the day of our surfing experience. So I couldn't give an excellent review. I do enjoy the overall experience though, as both the instructors made the most of it and made the day really fun.
They were very knowledgeable, funny and passionate about surfing. So, even with the conditions, I had the best time. Would love to one day redo the experience when the conditions are better

Great value lesson with enough theory and good and nice coaches. The surf school couldn't have done better! We have had a lesson with another Surf school but this one was way better. We really felt more confident after this, thank you guys!!
