  We had a WHALE of a time with Terry. He was very engaging and funny. Straight to the point no frills. An awesome teacher! Reading other reviews, yes the equipment is a bit worn, but it adds to the personality of the lesson, and for $49 what else can you expect. Terry was brilliant and got us all standing up and riding waves! He went out of his way to find us the perfect spot for our skill set. As William Shakespeare would say, he picked it like a nose. Would 100% have booked another lesson if we were in the area for longer. Thanks Terry!

  Me and my friend had a great experience with Kool Katz! We learned a lot and our instructor was very nice. He was very supportive and fun which made the whole experience a lot better! The length of the lesson is perfect, we got the chance to catch many waves and got some great feedback after each try. The price is also extremely reasonable, we felt like we got our moneys worth for sure! Will definitely go again next time we visit Byron⭐️

  It’s a perfect surf lesson for beginners. Terry helped us by pushing us in the waves so we could catch the waves.

  I would definitely recommend this experience for beginner surfers! Terry and Jeremy made this such a fun and memorable experience! They took us to a quieter beach, my friends and I were able to get up on the board many times and ride the small waves. Make sure you come with a positive attitude and go with the flow! It was our favourite day in Byron Bay, and those memories will last forever!

  It was an experience learning surfing for a total beginner. Given the cost, it was good value. All the equipment was functional although they a little aged.

• The best surf school

  If you want to give surfing a go in Byron Bay and actually want to surf waves instead of "winging it" - this is the way to do it! Terry has all the experience and puts his all into finding the best surf spot, he knows by looking at the water how suitable it is for surfing (even if it doesn't look like anything to the lay-human!). I enjoyed it enough to go twice in a row! Highly recommend.

  Tezza is a local legend and gave my girlfriend a free lesson as he saw she was struggling. Nicest instructor in Byron and a must do whilst you are here.

• Character owner/instructor

  The owner and instructor we had was such an amazing character most Australian man I have ever met. He’s very humorous and a little quirky in a great way made the experience for us,the surfing’s itself was amazing and he was kind enough after a bit of begging to bet us progress but if you are a fast learner maybe think about private lessons since it can be a bit slow waiting your turn for him to push you when you want to try yourself.But I would give the day a 9/10 defo go along and prepare to fall and laugh a lot ,car was a little run down but it’s fine if your not picky and a open minded person x
