I had an incredible time at the soul surf school. The instructors are fantastic! I went for a 5 day surf package with instructors Levi, Ben and caught green waves with Matt. Honestly it was a great experience and best way to start off the new year! The team makes you feel right at home, super friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgable and professional. Will definitely be back soon.
Amazing 5 days of lessons! I did three group lessons and two private. I’d never surfed before and by the end I was catching my own waves. First day instructors were Mark and Lawerence and they did a great job teaching pop ups. Conditions were pretty bad but they kept our spirits up and kept everyone safe when it kinda suddenly got downright nasty. Next two days I was “out the back” with Matty. Very nice how they divide up the groups so those of us who were more comfortable got to focus on paddling and timing. Lottie was the beginner instructor both days I was out and while I didn’t have her teaching me, everyone on the bus was raving about her both days. Said she was super sweet and gave great instructions. Private lesson with Johnny was AMAZING. I progressed so much in those two hours it was insane. Would highly recommend doing at least one or two private lessons. Overall if your goal is to learn to surf in five days in Byron, I can confirm these guys will get you there no problem!
I had the half day surf lesson. Never done it before. Everything was excellent. Pick up worked well, the beach we were taken, was good and not too busy with good size waves. Our instructor, Joy, got everybody exceeding our own targets for the day. School provides us shirts, which was good to avoid sun burns. Dip in tea tree lake on the way back was a nice bonus!
Had a beginner group lesson with Jamie and Matt and had such an awesome time 😎 weather was stunning for us and everyone in the group got up on the board and caught some good waves! It was the perfect first surfing experience!! 🌊☀️
We got the best experience with Marine, Max and Mat!! All of them were super kind and took care of us really good. They gave us great explanations and tips, not only about how to surf, but also about the ocean and waves. The groups were small, so they could pay a lot of attention to each one of us and we got many chances to practices. The break in the middle of the session was really good to take a breath and improve with some more tips. But the best thing was the friendly and fun vibe they created! Thanks so much!
