5.00The coaches and staff at Margaret River Surf School provided the most amazing experience for our Year 12 Outdoor Education students. The coaches were able to instil confidence in the students to challenge themselves and develop their surfing skills in a safe environment. I have been teaching Outdoor Education for 15 years and this was the best surf lesson and experience that I have been a part of with Outdoor Education students.

5.00The group lesson was awesome. I would highly recommend for all ages, we had a 3 year old and a 73 year old! The instructors were great with kids and really made an effort for everyone at all levels. Redgate beach is also a magic spot.
I had a great time!

5.00My husband and daughter did a 5 day lesson. I went along and watched each day. They improved a little everyday with the wonderful coaching and experience that was offered. The instructors were all very helpful, kind and very friendly. Even from the beach I could tell my family were in great hands. Arthur was our favorite. The age group during the week was very wide, with different experiences, the boys looked after everyone equally with experience, safety and care.
Fun but scary (due to massive waves and rocks)

3.00As beginners, we got a bit unlucky with extremely big waves, so it felt quite unsafe as we were surfing in an area full of rocks which could have been dangerous. Since the conditions were quite dangerous, only one student at a time could try to catch a wave with one of the instructors, while the other people had to wait and paddle away from the rocks and massive waves. Due to this, we were in a rotation system and we only had the opportunity to go about 6 times each in 2 hours of lesson. The instructor Jorge was friendly and helped us paddle in the waves. We still had fun, but it didn’t feel completely safe and definitely not beginner friendly. If the conditions are better and you can surf on a beach with sand, it is probably much better.

Too many students to instructor

2.00The instructors were lovely, but WAY too many students to instructors. People just sitting in the water with their boards, waiting to be told what to do but it is impossible for one instructor (as lovely as they were) to help 8 novices learn to surf. Great concept, great people, but rather reduce the numbers and increase the price if required, as you don’t get much out of it in its current format.

5.00Went to the surf school at redgate beach on the 5&11 Jan. Had George, Luka and Patrick on the 5th and George and Arthur on the 11. Had my daughters with me, non of us had surfed before. The guys were really helpful and positive. Cheered us on when we caught waves, and gave positive encouragement when we didn’t. I’d highly recommend them, and will definitely go back again. Tony

4.00LUCA & Patrick provided professional, appropriate information to support, teach & make the lessons enjoyable for all. Perfect conditions on the first day allowed all to brush up there skills. Second day was more challenging but Lucca & Patrick enabled all to push their limits in choppy conditions & learn to steer aswell as stand. Professional outfit, 3rd day saw sore bodies, but with enthusiastic coaches all enjoyed the final day of surfing feeling a sense of achievement. HIGHLY recommend as staff knowledgeable, relaxed but attentive to variety of needs of group & who were able to engage & build rapport with kids.
