One of the best trips I have ever taken!! I came into this never having surfed before and honestly thinking I wouldn’t like it that much but wanting to try something new. By the end of the trip I loved it!! Not only did I have a great time but I came away feeling like I understood the basics of surfing and I could take things I learnt on the trip and progress on my own. The video analysis every night really helped with this. Seb is the coolest guy and just wants you to have the best time and see some of the coolest spots on the east coast that otherwise are usually missed. The small group aspect is amazing and it becomes like a little family very quickly, all travelling along the east coast together and going for a surf every day <3 I couldn’t recommend this trip enough and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

I couldn’t recommend Australian Surf Bus more! Each aspect of the trip was planned out perfectly to be jam packed whilst still super relaxed. The surf spots were well selected to suit our skill level and the coaches were super supportive meaning we were able to progress so much throughout the week. The camping, the hiking, the food were all also great and Seb is such a kind soul. Can’t wait to see you again soon ☺️🏄‍♀️

My trip with the Australian Surf Bus was nothing short of wonderful! Seb has an abundance of knowledge around the areas we visited and the surf which added a super informative layer to the experience. As an Aussie who hadn’t surfed before, this trip gave me the courage to get out and keep up the practice. It was also lovely seeing places in my own backyard I hadn’t previously seen, or gaining some new insight into them. This trip is not just for backpackers! I can’t put into words the feeling and vibe of this trip it was something incredibly special shared with the best group of people and so hard to go home afterwards! I can’t recommend enough!
A bus full of friends, and a heart full of memories

Second time on the bus, and once again it gave me everything: a little rain, every kind of surf, and a whole lot of joy. Somehow, strangers turned into friends overnight, and memories stacked up quicker than waves. ASB isn’t just a trip, it’s a reminder of how full life can feel when you share it! If you think about booking, do it ... I promise you won't regret it!
A great experience
