We had an amazing time with Ava from Let’s Go Surfing! I’m 53 and hadn’t surfed for 2 years, I’m a beginner and Ava tailored the whole lesson so perfectly. My husband and I had so much fun! Our arms were exhausted and she even towed me out once so I could catch another wave. She got us both up and riding waves- it was an absolute blast. She’s a great teacher/coach!

My sons loved their lesson with let’s go surfing. The lesson was well organised and their instructor Charlie was great with my beginner surfers. The wetsuits and boards were in great condition and everyone at the shop was super helpful getting the boys ready for their lesson. The lesson was walking distance at a super safe part of the beach. Charlie’s great direction and tuition with the boys got them up on their boards super quick. They had an awesome time.

Our family enjoys so much surf lessons at Let’s Go Surfing, it’s always an incredible experience for both adults and kids alike. The instructors are fantastic at adapting their teaching style to accommodate different age groups, ensuring that everyone has a blast while learning valuable surfing skills.
The shop’s atmosphere is perfect for families, with a friendly and welcoming vibe that instantly puts you at ease. The equipment provided was excellent, and safety measures were diligently followed, giving us peace of mind as we hit the waves with our kids.
What stood out the most was the patience and encouragement shown by the instructors towards the children. They made the lessons fun and engaging, instilling a love for surfing and the ocean in our little ones. Thank you from Claire, Temple Tattoo!

I’ve done a whole bunch of surf lessons since starting to try and catch waves and had always struggled and wanted to give up, thinking it probably wasn’t for me. The team at Let’s Go Surfing absolutely turned that around for me though. I went solo, and the welcoming atmosphere makes you feel comfortable and part of the gang from the off. Every single member of the team are literal angels on earth, so friendly and so patient, consistently taking the time for each individual to help improve their particular area of struggle. You won’t just get a standard cut and paste session, the support and knowledge goes beyond just getting you to stand up on a board and catch a wave. You can pick their beautiful brains for tips on reading waves, conditions, paddle techniques, etc. The team’s passion for surfing is clear, and makes each session an informative joy to be part of. With the help of this smart, kind and talented bunch I’ve not become the most skilled and stylish surfer by any means but I’m confident to get out there with everything I’ve learned and go it solo. If you’re in Sydney for a while you’ll soon become addicted and if you do, I’d highly recommend their 6 week course which has also found me a solid friendship group to talk surfing and go out and support in the water with ????

This was my first surf lesson ever, I was pretty nervous going into it. But I shouldn’t have been! I had the BEST time! Ava was my instructor, she was lovely and knew exactly what she was doing. She taught me everything I needed and I managed to get up on my board multiple times! I joined the small lesson which I really recommend as you have good interaction with your teacher. Ava gave me feedback I needed and confidence to feel like I could 100% surf again so thank you!!!! 🏄🏻 🤩🐬

WE SHOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE WE BOOKED.
We picked up a Jayco 2 van from Perth early January on a 45 day hire.
At the start all was well, the van was clean, smart and well equipped.
After 10 days near Exmouth the electric bed failed in the up position. Lets go were clueless. After 3 days sleeping on the floor, we found an electrician who lowered the bed and stated that a new circuit board was required. The bed was now usable but we could not be raised or lowered so we could not sit or eat inside.
After another 10 days of phoning Lets go many times a day (one phone call they hung up on us) it showed that they were totally clueless, had no plan or idea of what to do. THEY HAD NO SPARES NOR BACK UP.
A phone call to their head office in Victoria produced the comment “You should have hired the van from Melbourne, Perth is too remote”
After these 10 days we abandoned the idea if help from Lets go and got on with our holiday, and had to eat all meals outside – luckily the weather was good.
The BASIC PROBLEM WAS THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A SUPPORT NETWORK IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA. IT WAS TOO REMOTE. THEREFORE WHY DO THEY HIRE VANS FROM PERTH.
Previously we had always hired Apollo vans (4 times). Once we had a problem near the remote Township of Fitzroy Crossing W.A. – FIXED IN 24 HOURS, with good recompense.
Whilst we were returning our van, another couple returned theirs – 2 days early, they could not stand the van any longer and had booked into a hotel.

There was not much engagement, and even when telling us about the safety instructions, their voice were really low and not even facing the students, but looking around, checking the environment, so we had a hard time catching up with what they were talking about. There were two times they suddenly ran away for something without telling students what was going on, and no explanation upon showing up again.
Of course, given the nature of group classes and uncontrollable weather, people’s experiences vary and it’s not something the instructor can do. However, getting some basic knowledge about how to instruct and maintain professionalism is critical.
Some of the staff in the shop are very helpful, and other people’s experience seems to show there are quite a few good instructors, but none of them mentioned ours, so I assume they must be new to coaching surfing.
We didn’t have a good time and hope this surfing school offers some basic training techniques to instructors, so all the others in the future will still have a good time surfing here.

But still, I’d like to say that it’s more like weight lifting training rather than surfing, cuz it required a lot of energy for you to get out of the wave while holding your board at the same time.
Employees here are really kind and welcoming. I don’t know it’s because all Aussies are the same or just I met a lot of friendly Aussies. Anyway, it’s a good memory. And I met a guy sharing the same lesson, and we still in contact now.

Our experience with Let’s Go Surfing was amazing. We had the 4 hour tour with Ava, she was the best! Our family of 5 (kids 11, 12, 14) all got up on surfboards and can’t wait to get up on the boards again. She’s a great instructor and guide for the beautiful Byron Bay. We’ll never forget it. Thank you!!

Hands down best experience of my life!!! Dan and Lucas were the instructors and they did a fabulous job at informing us on all the details when it came to the ocean, the board and our safety. They ensured everyone felt comfortable before entering the ocean to catch some waves. They did a remarkable job at making sure everyone got the help and guidance they needed to in order to execute a wave. Such kind men. It was my first time surfing and I was able to catch almost every wave! Thank you so much again you guys! ????????

Amazing service!! I am a newbie first timer for surfing and I was up in my feet riding the waves a few times, so great coaches helping you out in the water.
The coaches were so friendly and welcoming.
One coaching in particular stood out to me I couldn’t remember her name but she is from France, very helpful, supportive and friendly coach. Made me feel great when I was up on my feet! Would definitely come back for a second lesson.
Want to get into surfing now I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Highly recommend these guys!

Highly recommend! Everything was more than great and Jade the instructor was amazing!
I've booked a private surf lesson for my husband and I a few days before arriving. We've had to reschedule (twice) because of changes in our plans and they were super flexible and helpful, even though it was a bit last minute.
We got Jade as an instructor and she was AMAZING!! The nicest, most supportive and encouraging on top of being super professional. We had the best time with her and time went by quickly. We felt we've improved a lot compared to how we've started.
Couldn't recommend them more!

My experience with Ava during a private surfing lesson was truly exceptional. The surfing conditions were perfect, and Ava's guidance was outstanding. The lesson was not only a lot of fun, but it also provided excellent support and instruction throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend this surf school if you're seeking a fantastic time and top-tier guidance in the waves.

The only complaint I have is that I wish it had been a bit longer. Though I understand they likely have other lessons to do throughout the day, only a couple of hours to learn and get out on the waves doesn't leave you feeling like you had enough tike to get it down pat, though.
Overall though, would recommend them if you're in bondi and wanting to try your hand at this. Especially if you don't have a wetsuit and board, since they provide those.

Having surfed a few times already it was great to get feedback from him on how to improve my stance and positioning. He was also very happy to teach more about the water and surroundings. John clearly knows his stuff and everybody was standing up and having a great time! Thanks John for a great day!!

Today we did a stand up paddle board tour on Brunswick river, we had Dan as our guide/instructor, he was a legend. He had us up on our feet in no time then we headed up the river. Such a beautiful river and surround area to explore. Dan was also super knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the history of Brunswick heads. We also lucked out and got to see lots of wildlife.
Highly recommended this experience!!
Can’t thank Dan enough for looking after us and making it so much fun!!

I had 3 beginner lessons across 5 days with Sam (once), Dan (twice) & John (once). Sam & Dan were really helpful & encouraging & really got me progressing my pop-ups quickly in the first 2 lessons. They really helped me understand how to pick waves & placement which is what I was hoping for. I was riding more waves & for longer than ever before!
I had my 3rd lesson with John who really made me focus on my shoulder direction & feet placement so again I was riding waves for even longer than before & begun to be able to speed up when I was standing which I hadn’t achieved before. Unfortunately, I fell off my board & badly bruised my foot so couldn’t continue the last half of the lesson. John provided first aid on the beach, and arranged for me to be driven back to the shop instead of walking. Back at the shop I was offered a ride to hospital and/or any first aid I could ask for. John even drove me back to my hostel with the icepack I accepted for my foot. 10/10 they went above and beyond & I’m gutted I couldn’t finish the last half of the lesson.
Even though it’s taken 5 days for me to stop limping it was overall a great experience & I can’t wait to surf again & put it all into practice.
I recommended LGS to others at my hostel & would recommend them to anyone reading this too ✌️Thanks, guys

My wife and I traveled from the US to surf in legendary Byron Bay. We were in luck with Ava ans our surf coach and local guide to all the great things the area had to offer.
Ava got us comfortable with a point’s break, showing us were to paddle out and catch our first waves. She showed how to navigate a rip and how to get outside the waves. It was awesome, we were lucky to have her.
The whole staff (Ava and Dillon) at the Byron store were awesome people and made sure we had a great time while in town. We will be back!

My family took a private surf lesson in the morning on 31 December; kids ages 13 and 9. Eddie was great with all four of us, who have varying surf ability, and was able to spend quality time to help all of us improve from comfort on the board to going out a little farther to catch bigger waves. The descriptions of the rip tide locations was super helpful, and it was clear that safety was a top priority. Especially given that it wasn't easy to manage around the crowds that day. Such a dream to be able to surf at Bondi Beach!

Justin and James were great at teaching us the basics and guiding us through our surfing experience. They were very friendly and instructive and made our experience really good. Almost all of us were able to stand up and surf a bit which, given our group's different ages and abilities, is a great accomplishment.
The beach was crowded but really good for learning.
Great setting. Great option for initiating yourself.

The booking process was so easy. The company were super flexible and allowed me to move on to an earlier group lesson on the day. Checking in was easy and straightforward and everything you needed was provided.
In terms of the lesson there were only three in our group and it felt like a personal/ individual lesson. I am really regretful that I cannot remember the teachers name (possibly Jared - but I may be totally wrong). Regardless he was very good. He was patient and he showed a genuine interest and gave individual feedback. My experience of these types of experiences in the past is that instructors use generic motivational techniques and give you praise every now and again. However, this was not the case on this lesson. I got clear feedback and advice and he never missed a thing throughout the lesson. He gave praise where appropriate and it felt like he was genuinely pleased with the progress made. I did manager to stand up and surf two waves within the two hours having never been on a surf board before. He hung around afterwards and chatted to the group.
Would really recommend. Great company. Straight forward processes and great staff. Bondi beach was clean too and lots of waves to try to surf!
