AI summary of 41 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the instructors for being encouraging, patient and skilled at tailoring guidance to individual abilities, with many first-time surfers successfully standing up on a board during their lesson. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere, combined with well-organised logistics including pick-up, equipment provision and travel to a suitable beach location, stands out as a defining strength of the experience. The most common caveat concerns group sizes, with several travellers noting that larger groups in the water sometimes limited the amount of individual attention available, though most still rated their experience highly despite this concern.
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.
“Half day surf lesson in Byron bay”
A fantastic lesson with James, a super cool guy. I learnt loads to practise at home and would book again next time we're in Byron.
“Excellent day surfing!”
We were picked up from our Byron hostel, swapped to the board shuttle and driven about 20 minutes to the beach. After a safety talk and technique practice on the sand we had about an hour in the water with loads of help, then were dropped straight back.
“Great experience”
Friendly, welcoming staff. I've done several surf days along the east coast and this was the best.
“Great arvo”
A great afternoon with James, and it felt so good to catch waves on my very first lesson.
“Fun chill surfing”
The shop staff and instructor were relaxed and approachable. The lesson covered the ocean, safety and how to stand up, and our instructor was right there with personal tips; we wiped out a bit but both ended up standing.
“Great activity to do while in Byron”
A cheap, fun activity in Byron. The instructors taught us the fundamentals, communicated well and helped us in the water.
