AI summary of 16 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the instructors and guides for their patience, clear explanations, individual attention and encouraging approach to teaching surfing, with many noting they progressed quickly or caught waves on their first lesson. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the camp stands out most often, with visitors highlighting the supportive team, comfortable accommodation and good food that created an enjoyable experience beyond just the instruction itself. The main caveat mentioned by a small number of reviewers is that group sizes can be large, and one traveller noted the package booked through a hostel included fewer surf days than expected, suggesting it is worth booking directly with the tour operator to clarify lesson numbers.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Good camp to learn surfing”
The instructors, especially Ruben, explained every step clearly and gave everyone individual feedback, and the photographer did a great job. I was let down that the package I booked through a hostel turned out to have fewer surf days than I expected, so next time I'd just book the lessons, as the teaching is excellent.
“Memorable and all rounder fun experience”
Nat was a legend and a relaxed local who took us to uncrowded spots, showed us some lookouts and gave us tips on the town. As two beginners we caught plenty of waves.
“James was a great instructor”
Plenty of waves at Flathead and James was very attentive. I've had lessons before, but his simple tricks worked better.
“James the Jammin’ instructor”
A great lesson with James; I stood up far more than in any other lesson, thanks to his technique tips.
“Amazing crew!!”
The instructors took time to help each of us with a smile, and in two or three days I really developed my surfing; Tyler and Dave were the best. Jey in the shop was incredibly helpful too, even ringing other stores to find shirts for us.
“Amazing surf lesson !!!”
The team was friendly and caring, and the coaches explained the basics clearly and patiently. The accommodation had a comfortable surfy feel, the food was good and I felt very welcome.
