My daughter and her friend had two lessons on Friday and Saturday. They are 12 and they loved it. Instructors were really good and they mananged to get up on the surf board so they were so happy with themsleves. The staff at the shop are also excellent, so friendly and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this activity and a great one to do as a family also.

From booking to the shower afterwards back at the shop, everything was great. Easy process, very friendly and professional staff, from Tim booking and at the shop, and Hanna who took the lesson at the beach and helped in the water ... and thankfully didn't need to save us! Highly recommend for quality of service, and value for money.

Friendly and personalized service! Storefront staff was very welcoming. Both surf instructors Zander and Joel were friendly, energetic and super helpful making it an overall unenjoyable experience. Thank you!

Had an amazing couple of hours out on the water. This was my first time on a board & very inexperienced. I’d go so far to say that I’m quite afraid of breakers and being in the surf but felt totally comfortable the whole way through and now I just want to go again! We had Xander who was super chilled, friendly, and didn’t put any pressure on us while always there for advice and tips and checked in with us for safety the whole way through. Exactly how I like to learn. Felt amazing to experience surfing for the first time at the home of surfing! 100% recommend and already checking the forecast for tomorrow!

Despite being winter we had a great lesson. With wetsuits water was not cold at all. At the end we were almost able to stand on the board.

Hugh was a brilliant teacher, despite tricky conditions he was able to get my whole family up and managing to stand up and we had a great time, he managed to give us all a great experience. Thank you!

What an incredible experience with a terrific bunch of teachers! My 12 year old son who is shy and struggles in group situation’s absolutely loved the surf class today. It was an incredibly empowering class for him to take on the surf and be able to stand on his board. The way the teachers interacted with students and the clear and thoughtful advice they gave them will be something they will carry for a lifetime. Simple message of “never surf alone” is something he will never forget, but above that the way he felt out there in the surf, free yet completely sade around capable teachers who actually cared about him and his learning is something that he and I will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you legends! What a magnificent experience
