A must experience in Bondi - This was the most fun experience we had in Bondi. The group size was small and intimate and Aaron our instructor was truly outstanding - both personable and knowledgeable! The lesson was perfect for beginners and early-learners and left us feeling confident and tired from the constant exercise. I could not recommend this experience enough

Amazing surfing experience! 🌊 - This was so much fun! Our surf instructors, Luke and Bert, were amazing. They provided background information, thorough explanations, and were present and involved for the entire lesson, making everyone feel very safe and comfortable in the water, regardless of previous experience. We really enjoyed this experience and were able to surf a ton of waves of our own. I’d highly recommend this experience!

My 1st Time Surfing Was Amazing! - This was an amazing experience. Never surfed before and after 2 hours, I wish I would have tried this years ago. Leo and Jonathan are great instructors and helped every step of the way. They taught the fundamentals on the sand and helped you easily understand each step in the water - foot position, how to use the board, mechanics, etc. After about 30 minutes, I was able to stand on the board with consistency and catch some waves. I even booked a 2nd session the next day and was able to see so much progress in such a short period of time thanks to Leo and Jonathan. This was a great way to meet and socialize with other travelers if you’re visiting Sydney as a solo. Will definitely book another session with them again when I return to Sydney. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bondi Beach!

Excellent - Lots of fun! The waves were small but it was good for learning! Luke was very helpful and gave us great tips! Even for such a busy beach we had plenty of space in the water so we weren’t crashing into anyone else.

Great surf school - Great surf school! Everything is well and efficiently organized. It was a bit crowded when I took my lessons, but Tom is a fantastic instructor and gave all the necessary knowledge to enjoy the waves and learn something new. I had a great experience overall and would definitely recommend the school.
