Hi there, I'm Libby owner of Wavecrest Surf School. I've surfed for 30 years and been teaching surfing for 20 years here in Jbay.

Our staff create a warm, friendly atmosphere which is hard to beat. It is professionally run with good vibes at all times.
We all Love what we do!!

It was a great experience! The instructor gave very good instructions what to do and within a hour I was able to stand on the board and at the end of the session I could even ride some waves. A must do when you are at JBay!

Had 2 days of surfing lessons from Dylan. We thought Dylan was great. Very fun to do. Very well located on the beach. Showers and toilet within walking distance. And sunscreen available. They also pay close attention to your belongings. Recommended. Good luck in Norway Dylan.

Had an amazing surf lesson with the instructor Dylan! He was excellent, boosting my confidence. The people were friendly, and the overall atmosphere, much like the waves, was fantastic. A truly incredible experience, big thanks to the awesome team. Highly recommended!

My son (10) did the surfing and he said his instructor was the best and kept encouraging him. He is already asking me when we will be back again.

Three lessons of two hours each that I loved. The Mood at this school is great. Everything is done very seriously but without taking itself seriously. The instructors are friendly and very competent. Anyway, we feel good. Thanks to Andrew and his whole team. My first surfing experience will live in my memory.
