Great experience. The instructors were great. The surf was a bit rough on the day but the instructor gave us plenty of guidance and made sure everyone was feeling comfortable.
We had a great time...

Jade was an excellent instructor! She payed great attention and offered very specific feedback. The only reason I have given this a 3 star is because of the group size. I did tons of research and selected this option because they advertised a maximum of 6 people on the activity. When we got to the meeting point, we were disappointed to see there were 11 people in the group. This made it very challenging as there were 11 people learning to surf in a small area in the ocean; we were all constantly in each others way and having to bail out of waves to avoid running into each other.
Excellent experience. Would definitely book again :)

Excellent experience. We were so lucky as there were only two booked for todays lesson. The instructor was so informative, kind and patient. He really went out of his way to give my daughter the best experience and ensured she went out on a good wave :) highly recommend Thank you
