AI summary of 41 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the instructors for making surfing accessible and enjoyable, with most participants standing up and catching waves during their first lesson regardless of prior experience. The small group size stands out most often, allowing for personalised attention and individual feedback that enables learners to progress quickly whilst maintaining focus on safety and proper technique. The instructors' engaging personalities, particularly their use of humour and jokes, combined with their knowledge of local conditions and genuine passion for teaching, create an atmosphere where beginners feel encouraged and at ease. The most common caveat is minimal, though a few travellers mention that occasionally lessons were affected by weather conditions or occasional wave shortages, which the instructors handled by rescheduling or adjusting the experience to ensure participants received full value from the session.
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.
My first time ever on a board, and Gaz was welcoming, patient and keen to get everyone confident. I was standing within a few tries, and the friendly group made it a great way to meet people along the Byron coast.
A locally run school owned by Gaz, a lifelong Byron surfer who really cares about your learning and safety. Good group sizes and plenty of time in the water made our morning a highlight of the trip.
My first surf lesson was made simple and fun, and with so much encouragement most of us stood up first go. Gaz kept us laughing with his jokes the whole time.
Good vibes and good waves learning with Gaz and Mat. Well worth a lesson if you're staying in Byron Bay.
Gaz and Paul were friendly, knowledgeable and full of jokes, and made sure every one of us caught waves. As someone who had never surfed, I'd pick them over any other school in Byron.
