5.00Our school used MR Surf School to teach our students to surf over a course of three weeks. The instructors were enthusiastic and helpful and our kids really enjoyed their time in the water. Many were buzzing with enthusiasm and noting this as a highlight of their Primary School years. Due to the huge amount of positive feedback we are now considering how to make this an annual tradition.
Good fun.

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.
