Great experience for us, family of 3 (one adult with a 17-year old and a 12-year old boys) to take the first step of learning surfing. We all can stand on the board under the coach from Jody’s team. They are nice, friendly and patient to teach you the technique and fine-tune your every attempt. They can even help you create memory with their FREE photo service, no more extra dodgy charge. Two thumb-up and strongly recommended to all beginners.

I had my first surfing experience with my husband and son with Australian Surfing Adventures on Christmas Eve and we all had such a great time. The lesson was well organised with easy to follow instructions and guidance provided at the beginning. The instructors were very friendly, encouraging and fantastic with my 7 year old son, providing one-on-one assistance with him throughout the lesson. I now have the 'surfbug' and am looking forward to my next surf lesson!

What a fantastic day, cannot recommend this enough. Alex was a fantastic guide and helped in every way, made the whole experience amazing. Our 1st ever surf lesson and he even had us standing up on the board riding wqves after no more than half hour, truly magical. The ultimate Australian Experience, thank you so much, from Nikki, Liverpool UK x

Was such a great day. My partner and I had so much fun. The gear and instructions (coaching) are prefect for beginners. Would highly recommend. I was worried this would only be good for kids but us adults had a blast.

My family and I had an amazing time yesterday. We learned a lot, took multiple falls, but were ultimately able to stand up and surf! Our instructor (unsure how to spell his name but it started with a T) was a great teacher and he took so many wonderful photos us! Highly recommend to try at least once, no matter your age!

I rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so for my instructor Arthur (I hope I’m spelling that right). I booked a private lesson, and since my English isn’t good and my physical fitness is limited, Arthur patiently adapted his instructions to simple language while always prioritizing safety. Even though I fell off the board time and time again, he never stopped encouraging me. I was being tumbled around like clothes in a washing machine, and he was there instantly to help me. Thanks to his guidance, I managed to catch a higher wave than I had ever attempted before—an experience I will never forget. I’m determined to improve my fitness and truly hope to have another lesson with him in the future.

We had fantastic instructors who took the time to make sure each of us was getting assistance and was able to stand up. They gave helpful pointers while also making it fun and keeping us laughing. We had a great time, all stood up multiple times, and got very fun pictures. Would 1000% recommend - this experience was so worth it!

The lesson and instructors were the absolute best . They were patient and gave us so much good energy and encouragement despite falling over so many times 🙈 I could totally see myself coming back and doing this for a whole day or even a weeklong surf retreat with them. Can’t recommend them enough. Thanks for an amazing time

Very Co-Operative. My 11 years old kid enjoyed. That was his 1st time surfing and he learnt a lot. Both the instructors were very accommodating.
