It was s funny and amazing tour. We had a lot of fun bc we was amateurs. Some of us already surfed before and the teaching was only with the guide so solo training was not possible.

A great day surfing with Terry and the crew. Highly recommend. Cheapest price we have found for surfing class on the east coast. Whole class managed to stand up and surf by the end of the lesson so it’s well worth the money!

Had a really fun lesson with Kool Katz. Terry was an interesting character, I liked him just make sure you have a sense of humour and you’ll be fine haha. Surf tips were helpful, and got everyone in the group to stand up by the end of the session so it really does work. I’d have enjoyed more time in the water and maybe a few goes on my own without assistance from coaches but I understand their methods. Really good price for the class and it’s worth doing.

We had never surfed before and during the lesson we were already able to stand and surf a wave. Also they pay close attention to your safety. We had a great time!!

Good Price, the Surfteacher is a very nice guy and a good teacher. Absolute Legend. Went out near Sharpes beach. He teached us well so me and my mate had a great progress for the fist day.
