5.00The instructors were amazing, giving tips and making sure we were surfing under the best conditions. The groups were nice and small so it wasn’t too crowded. I had a great time and wanted to book the next lesson straight afterwards!
Would 100% recommend!

5.00We had an amazing morning learning to surf! You get so much out of what you pay for the lesson. Being out there for three hours and going up to different levels and trying new skills was so amazing. We felt so accomplished after being able to get up consistently and catch a few waves by ourselves. The instructor really made a point of getting people to a point where they felt capable and comfortable to try catch a wave by themselves. I really appreciated the friendly and laid back vibes but also that the lesson had so much structure and clear instructions. I would recommend this to anyone who is considering taking a surf lesson in Byron Bay! We would do it again in a heartbeat.
Great beginners course

5.00This surfing lesson was amazing, except that it lasted for less than 3 hours only (it was shown as 4 hours in Viator). Thanks so much to my excellent instructor Kai, who gave very clear teachings and took good care of us as beginners. It is important to remember the movement from lying to standing on the surfboard and the posture to keep our balance when we stand up. Overall, I can’t believe how fun surfing is and I could stand up on the surfboard and ride my first wave!!😆
Good vibes 🤙🏼
