Finally, I also went to visit their shop in town. I had a great experience here too, Chloe was manning the desk and she was very friendly and helpful. She let me try on a few wetsuits and take a look at their surfboards. They sell both new and secondhand items which is great for people like me on a budget!
I'd highly recommend surf and sun to any holiday makers or locals!

I loved that I was given an ebook to read about surfing before and after class. It is a lovely idea. I highly recommend experiencing the surf vibe with Surf and Sun. It was great fun. I loved the resilience this sport taught me. No matter how many times you fall, always pick up your board and keep trying until you succeed. Thank you for your patience Alex, I really appreciate it.

Hi Paul, thank you for your review and we are happy you enjoyed your time at the beach. Middleton does have more consistent waves all year round, but Moana can often have a better shape when there is swell. Thanks again, Luke
