We had the best experience as first time surfers with Luke! He was so informative and helpful. We felt safe the entire time and had the best experience. Thank you Luke!!

Great time with great instructors and great easy waves. Perfect for beginners. The photographer was amazing! Definitely know you’re being photographed lol cuz he’ll get some great photos/short videos of you! We went mid - March and thought it was the right surf for us mid-day. The lesson was 2 hours. I think 2.5 would be better to get a little more time in the water, but not too much like the 4 hour lesson we almost did. Happy we did it! Especially my friend who was very hesitant to join due to her own fears in the water.

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.

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.

Hey Allana,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are very sorry for the miscommunication. It should state - maximum of 6 per Instructor. This is one of the lowest ratios in the country, you had 2 Instructors during your session.
We have amended the text to avoid any future confusion and are glad that you enjoyed Jade, she is a legend. Please give me a call or shoot me an email and we can do our best to make it up to you.
cheers,
Dylan

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

We had a great time! Johnny was an amazing instructor. He went through some theory and gave us the opportunity to practise standing on the surf board on land before going out. Waves were small and suitable for beginners. We had a small group and received detailed individual feedback which ensured we could get the most out of our time on the water. Would highly recommend and would return. Thank you so much Johnny :)
