We booked two private sessions with two instructors each because my wife and I were travelling with our four year old kid. We went to main beach in Byron, had fun and certainly a memorable experience. Also our kid was well taken care of while my wife and I were further out in the water. We can only recommend to go to „Let‘s Go Surfing“. Many thanks to Ana, Eva, and Luke (and of course the whole team)!

Such an incredible experience. Couldn’t be more grateful for the instructors Ava and Sienna. I wasn’t sure on the surfing lesson originally as I’d never done it before, but so so glad I did it. Was so easy in our small group, really felt that we each had good 1-1 with our instructors out in water. Felt at ease, comfortable and safe straight away. Really guided each of us do what felt comfortable and right for us. Really encouraged us to ask questions and are so passionate about surfing. If there’s one thing I could recommend to do at Byron, this is it!!! Thank you so much both :)))

I did a surf lesson with my friend whilst we were in Byron Bay and it was so much fun! We had never surfed before and we were in group of different surfing experiences and but we never once felt we were on our own, the surf instructors were really helpful and encouraging, big shout out to Luke - he was gurt lush!

Just finished group surf lesson with Tim. I was a complete beginner and I totally loved it. Tim was awesome, brought the best positive and supportive energy throughout. He managed to slowly progress me throughout the lesson given there were 4 others in my group, he’s a great instructor. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about it, just go for it, you’re in very safe hands! Thank you Tim. Matt from Scotland 🤙🏻
