Highly recommend - Highly motivated and cool instructors, who are so qualified that you make good progress every day. I was impressed by how much I improved over the days. I booked the Surf and Stay option, which I can highly recommend as well. The Surf House is a good hostel. You can easily join the course every day of the week and you can add additional days if you'd like. The course is spilt into different experience levels, so everyone receives the support they need. The contact is very personal, so you always feel that you are in good hands.

Must Do in Australia/Byron Bay - The surf lesson was the best experience ever to get to know the Australian flair up close. The instructors/trainers were super friendly and helped you with everything. As a beginner I can say: I was able to take a lot out of half the day. For young & old to recommend!!!

Semi Pro = Fully Awesome! - my son and I visited the soul surf school on a spring break trip. We did the semipro package and stayed in a private room. The hotel was clean. The staff was accommodating and friendly, and the surf instructors were awesome at what they did definitely recommend the rooftop bar amazing experience! A+

Fantastic surf school! - We did an afternoon lesson with Soul Surf and loved it! The lessons are really well organised and tailored to all abilities to help you progress. I had previously had a more hands off style lesson with another surf school without much success, but with soul surf I managed to stand up by the end! The instructors were all super friendly and knowledgable. Would highly recommend and would have loved to do another lesson if we were in Byron for longer :)

The best surf school! - Definitely the best surf classes I had! The initial plan was to go just for one class but I loved it so much that extended my stay in Byron Bay to take two more. The coaches made sure you are focusing on the elements you want and always asked if there is anything else I would like to learn. The atmosphere is great and I really appreciated we did drive to “empty” spot.
