My 1st Time Surfing Was Amazing!

5.00This was an amazing experience. Never surfed before and after 2 hours, I wish I would have tried this years ago. Leo and Jonathan are great instructors and helped every step of the way. They taught the fundamentals on the sand and helped you easily understand each step in the water - foot position, how to use the board, mechanics, etc. After about 30 minutes, I was able to stand on the board with consistency and catch some waves. I even booked a 2nd session the next day and was able to see so much progress in such a short period of time thanks to Leo and Jonathan. This was a great way to meet and socialize with other travelers if you’re visiting Sydney as a solo. Will definitely book another session with them again when I return to Sydney. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bondi Beach!

5.00Lots of fun! The waves were small but it was good for learning! Luke was very helpful and gave us great tips! Even for such a busy beach we had plenty of space in the water so we weren’t crashing into anyone else.
Do it … fab experience a must in Bondi!

5.00What an awesome experience as a couple of slightly older travellers we were treated the same as everyone else and just had the best time. Brontë our instructor was knowledgeable experienced confident and taught us with patience. We both managed to stand and ride a wave … life experience ticked.

5.00Amazing! My first time surfing aged 39 (it was my birthday) and this was incredible. Many thanks to Che, Jay and Jessie for helping me go from zero to standing up and riding a baby wave to shore. My kids think I am the coolest dad ever now. This lesson has started a new passion for me!
Reccomended surf lesson

5.00Bondi Beach is incredible. Surfing is apparently a blast. Instructors meet you where you are (thanks Luke!). Immaculate vibes. They even offer photos if you request them 24 hours in advance! Sunscreen, wet suits, surf board, and instructor all provided! 10/10 would recommend. One caveat - the ocean at Bondi is not gentle. If you don’t know how to swim, please for the love of god, don’t take surfing lessons. You are expected to be relatively comfortable in water.
11/10 recommend - lets go surfing forever

5.00Lets go surfing is the BEST! I am from california and have surfed a few dozen times but have never successfully gotten past the "beginner" stage. Enter Lets Go Surfing's Hot Winter Deal Lesson Pack. All the instructors I had were good and left me with tips to improve my surf skills. However, Tom at the Bondi location was a LEGEND and helped me catch my first green wave all by myself! WOULD RECOMMEND

5.00This was a great experience and worth the money. The instructors were good and two were in the water the entire time. I would caution those who are young or poor swimmers though. My husband and 14 year old son had to fight some pretty tough surf. They came out exhausted and sore and both are very confident in the water. They still had a great time and would recommend it to others!
