First Time Surf Intro - Our instructor, James, treated us exceptionally for our first ever surf session- both my sister & I went with no experience at all. By the end of the 2-hr session James made an introduction to waves & the surf environment & gave enough technical skill to be riding small waves, paddling, & timing catching waves on our own; special mentions of energy conservation / reading waves, rip currents, venturing into bigger waves, local knowledge. James was passionate about surfing & comes from a lifetime of experience. Booking was easy through Tripadvisor on short notice the night before, due to another company having to cancel, & we checked in with our name on the official list in the morning.

Amazing Surf Lessons - I highly recommend Merrick Surf School. The groups are small and it’s great value for money. A special thank you to the surf instructor Oa, who made the lessons very individual and gave everyone individual feedback.

So good we booked the kids in again tomorrow - We were a private group lesson of five, and all five of us had a great time. Rob was simply excellent, he took the time to give really helpful feedback when we came to him for our next wave. Keeping the instructions clear and easy to understand, and layering with the next skill when we had got the one before. We all learned so much in just one lesson. The kids loved it so much, they are booked for another lesson tomorrow. Cannot recommend these guys highly enough.

Incredible Time - Cindy is the Greatest! - Wow!! Just such an incredible time - Cindy was the absolute greatest - 11/10. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Cindy, and we will definitely be coming back again!! I had never surfed before so was a little worried I might embarrass myself or get judged, but Cindy made me and the others feel so comfortable and was so patient with us. Thank you for making this lesson so memorable Cindy!!!
