My kids aged 9 and 7 did a one-on-one session through Kool Katz. Terry was ill on the day and despite that he ensured our kids got the maximum out of the session. Due to the recent shark activity at Byron Bay beaches, we ended up chasing waves at Flat Rock Tent Park at Skennars Head, half hour out of Byron Bay. Terry and his team of instructors did a great job. The boards have seen better days, but the enthusiasm and effort of the trainers makes up for it. Special shout out to Darcy who was assigned to train my kids.

I had a 3day course with Terry and we had a lot of fun out there! I've been to a surfschool in Surfers Paradise before but taking the lessons with Terry is another level. He's very good in observing and transforming your mistakes. He just has an eye for this because of all his experience. I recomment to take at least a 3day course or a 5day couse if you have the time in Byron Bay! And watch out for his cute dog Mango! She's the real star in the business ;)

Terry and his crew gave us the best time surfing in Byron Bay. Couldn’t recommend getting surfing lessons here enough. You’ll catch some waves, have a laugh and enjoy every minute of it. Also: he has the cutest dog

Best experience in Byron Bay. We spent so much time in the water and everybody in the group had a chance to try to surf. Learning was very easy and quick because of the great teacher Terry. Would absolutely recommend to everybody who wants to try surfing and not have lot or any experience. With our next stop in Byron bay we are definitely trying it again.

Terry has over 60 years of surfing experience and is quite the character! He gets everyone up surfing on the first lesson, he knows how to push you out of your comfort zone without ever compromising safety. Make sure to ring Terry the day before to confirm the time of the lesson as it is depending on surf conditions.
