★★★★★ via Tripadvisor
"Brilliant first surfing lesson with experienced and informative instructors. Great pre-surf instructions, felt safe in the water with great guidance throughout."
M Mikeyofboro Beginner Group Surf Lesson (13 years+)
★★★★★ via Tripadvisor
"Learnt loads to take home and practice. Great company and super friendly would definitely recommend !"
S Scott C Byron Bay Half-Day Surf Lesson (Oct–April)
★★★★★ via Tripadvisor
"This was an excellent surfing experience for my family. … took us to a beach off the beaten track that we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise, it was the perfect location to learn to surf with much gentler surf than main beach. All the kids were able to stand up on their boards by the end of the lesson and we left having had a wonderful time!"
