🌊 Rode My First Wave at Bondi! - Hands-down the highlight of Sydney! This 2-hour crash course was worth every penny – I ACTUALLY STOOD UP!!! Our instructor was a human cheerleading squad, yelling "One more try!" louder than me after each wipeout. Loved the icebreaker session that transformed strangers into wave-chasing allies in 5 mins. Bondi served us Photoshop-blue skies and beginner-friendly waves that curved just right... The only regret? ZERO photos of this epic moment! (Petition to add photographer to the team). Worth flying back to Sydney for – already planning my revenge on bigger waves!

Brad is a great instructor, well-organised and fun, would recommend. - I think Brad is an excellent surfing instructor, he is very friendly and patient. I love that he asked about prior experience with surfing and similar sports. I think he was very encouraging and he wants people to be safe first of all, keep other people safe as well and for them to have fun and potentially fall in love with this incredible and fun sport. I found everything pretty well-organised and the pace is relaxed, which I absolutely love. I think I had an amazing time and I would highly recommend.

Have fun! - Our son (17h) did a surf course there for surfing and had a lot of fun! Online registration worked perfectly, so there was nothing left to do on site. Dry suit, T-shirt during the J Course and sunscreen were available from the surf school. Very nice coach, lots of valuable tips. Group of 5 That was great! Thank you!

Zero to Hero - I started at zero and left a hero (well that's how you made me feel anyway!) On my own I felt entirely at ease from the off, every little step I made was celebrated and the gave me courage to try more. I'm sorry - forgot my instructors name (I blame the adrenalin) but you know who you are! Thank you soooo much fir a wonderful, fun and unforgettable experience! I'll have a Bundy n coke for you when I get there ;)
