Did a private lesson as someone with light surfing experience and had a great time catching waves with my instructor. He was very friendly and helpful. They drove us to a spot ~30 mins from Byron and it was less crowded and had nice waves. I’m glad I did the private lesson because it allowed me to catch way more waves.

Great teachers and a lot of fun!

kjerstihouge_g, Mar 2024

Great teachers, and we had a lot of fun. Knowledgeable, friendly and service-minded! Family of four all managed to stand up and surf basic surfing after only a few test-runs.

Very little teaching took...

Daniel_M, Nov 2023

Very little teaching took place, boards weren't in the best Conditioning. Left late and finished early.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

I'm sorry you feel that way. Some boards are not new but they are all functional and safe. A private lesson is only 3 hours usually but from pickup to drop off yours was nearly 4. $60 each will not even get you a group lesson with any other school and you could be with up to 20 other people. I know communication is not always perfect but I can only assume the coach considered you were doing well enough not to interfere with your technique too much. Some people get annoyed with information overload while they are practicing. All the best. Terry.

Super fun lesson, great waves/beach solo lesson

Denise_S, Jan 2023

The instructor swore at my granddaughter and was the biggest perv on the planet not to mention how badly disorganised the whole thing was totally disgusting

A must do whilst in Byron Bay!

Jamie_H, Dec 2022

Great morning out, managed to catch waves and get up on my own towards the end of the first lesson with Tez! Would highly recommend to anyone who’s never surfed before and wanted to try it out

Great experience

Fun surfing experience

Annick_S, Jul 2022

We had a very nice time surfing with Terry! Our lesson was a bit shorter than half a day, but we still had a lot of fun. Terry was very patient with us beginners, he gave good instructions and gave all his energy to give us a good surfing experience.

Great day surfing with Terry at Kool Katz

Joshua_E, Jan 2022

Myself and my boyfriend went surfing with Kool Katz, both beginner surfers. Terry was an amazing coach. We both stood up many times due to Terry’s expertise. He’d taken us to the perfect spot for beginner waves and was extremely patient. Had a great day, Terry at Kool Katz was kind, funny and an amazing surf coach! Would recommend to anyone
