Excellent time! Instructors were very knowledgeable and experienced. It was my first time surfing and they made me feel very comfortable in the water.

Surfing made approachable, easy and fun!!! Fabulous 10 out of 10 experience!!! Our instructor Misha made surfing approachable, easy and fun! What a fabulous time!!!

Amazing Surf Session! Let’s Go Surfing made sure we caught the best waves by advising us on the perfect day and time. Even in winter with less-than-ideal weather, we had a blast! Warm, comfy wetsuits, expert coaching, and safety always first. Evan was fantastic - patient, kind, and great with both kids and adults. Big thanks to Lars for organising it all. We’ll be back!

Ava took our family and family friends out for a private group lesson and it was brilliant! Everyone was up on the board in varying degrees by the end of it but maximum fun was had by all. The long wetsuits were perfect for the Byron bay winter!

Best bucket list for student group So ..we were going as an international student group who had never been to Australia before. Our group size kept changing & our tour bus time kept changing. Very hard to plan a set time but this was on their bucket list of most favorite thing they wanted to do
I just have to say Gabriella was AMAZING - she put up with my initial booking at 3:00 only to move it b/c we realized it’ll be winter in Australia (when it’s summer for us) so sunset is 5:00 so we moved it to 12 & then I got our final itinerary from the bus and we were only at the beach 1-4 - I wanted to cry there were no time slots available I emailed Gabriella & she put us in for 1:30-3:30 it was PERFECT & we were THRILLED. Our group had SO much fun with EVAN their instructor - the day was a bit chilly but the water was warm & they had a blast LARS was most helpful checking us in.

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND

So much fun!! Had a blast learning how to surf for the first time!! Great instructions and super fun and informative. Would have signed up for another lesson had I been in Sydney more days.

Luke coach taught very carefully in lesson and paid attention to the learning status and safety of each student at any time. He also told me about my problems about movements when surfing, so that I could do better next time after adjusting.

I joined the Latinas on Waves - Intermediate Level group twice, and it was an amazing experience. The groups were small (up to 10 Spanish-speaking women) with two awesome instructors, and the sessions were planned based on the best spots for the weather. Plus, video coaching was included, which was super helpful.

The instructors really made the difference. They’re not just great at teaching technique—they’re super passionate about surfing, and you can feel it in every class. They encouraged us to ask questions, set goals, and even took extra time outside their work hours to review videos and provide feedback on areas to improve.

BIG THANKS to Marta, Agus, and Fede for being incredible coaches. They didn’t just teach me how to surf better—they helped me fall even more in love with it and feel confident going out on my own.

I’d 100% recommend taking a course with any of this wonderful coaches. Thank you for such an awesome experience!

Fantastic Fantastic surf lesson with Max, started off with the basics and then slowly made our way up to the point where we were independently catching waves! Would highly recommend! Great way to see the beach if you’re note really one for sunbathing too

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 ;)

What an amazing day! This is my second time doing let’s go surfing in Byron and both times have been exhilarating and fun! Our guides taught us well, made us feel safe, and really knew their stuff. Plus they were a blast to be with! Loved having Luke, Dan, Keith and Martha with us today teaching us through the waves! Def recommend to anyone wanting to try surfing.

Go for it! It was such an amazing trip. I had never surfed before and was quite nervous. Luke was the instructor and had a really gentle and calm energy, making everyone on the team feel welcome and safe. The group was small, which made it a great and more intimate experience. Highly recommend this! 5 stars indeed!! Ps. Luke is great at taking Insta-worthy photos! 😉

This was our second private lesson with Marta from Let's go Surfing and we were SO HAPPY that she was available to teach us again. Martha made us so much more confident understanding the language of the ocean, feeling safe navigating breaking waves, and had us up surfing waves with confidence in no time. Our daughter is 8 and she had her first lesson ever with Marta ~ she loved her, felt safe with her, caught lots of waves and couldn't wipe the smile off her face. Thank you Let's go Surfing and especially thank you Marta, we will be back and will ask for you every time!
Love Anna, Mick and Lana 🙏🏼

We booked a private family lesson with Let’s go Surfing and had a wonderful afternoon. It was our first time surfing. We got Marta as an instructor and she was amazing. Our children don’t speak English but she made sure they understood by showing and drawing in the sand. When we were in the water she helped us all in a very nice and informative way. We all want to surf again and if we would go with Let’s go Surfing we will make sure to book Marta again. Thanks for a wonderful memory!

Absolutely loved the stand up paddle boarding with Ava! She took us to a tea tree lake just 15 minutes away from Byron, and it was amazing. We got to paddle and swim and just chill (whatever we really wanted) in the warm waters. Highly recommend if you're not looking to surf but rather do something a bit more relaxed!

Byron Bay surf lessons I took a 2 h. surf lesson in Byron Bay with them. Great team, I learned a lot in a short period of time during the morning session. Great fun too!

Must try if visiting Bondi! Fantastic first experience of surfing, everything is provided you just need swim gear! Matt was a great instructor and good craic, with the tips he gave I even managed to stand up a few times! As a first timer I was a bit apprehensive but you soon realise you're in good hands, you gain a good foundation in the first lesson and if you have the time I would highly recommend going for more, a very worthwhile and fun experience when visiting Bondi!

Absolutely loved it! Highly recommended! Highly recommended! Our teacher Nayis (could be wrong spelling) was so lovely - making us all feel comfortable and at ease - as I was a little anxious about surfing for the first time. She was so patient and would give us tips on how to improve after each wave. She made my first surfing experience so enjoyable - thank you so much Nayis and Lets Go Surfing!!

Best experience! Great people, great place - Must do if you want to learn how to surf Amazing! The staff was so friendly and put us at ease when to newbies came too early to their lesson, worrying about how they were going to cope with the big waves but the staff was so professional and helpful and our surf lesson with (I believe this is the instructor's name) Nate was so good, super informative, not only about the surfing but about the local area encouraging and so chilled (also gave us a wicked location to see the sunset and grab a great pizza). This was the highlight and a dream of mine to be able to learn to surf with these guys' help. I'm sure you will too!

PS Thanks for helping me tick off a bucket list as I can now saying I have surfed and especially on Bondi!

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!

Winter Family Surf Lesson's couldn't be better The team was super helpful. Justin was a great instructor and really helped my 12 and 14 year old improve. The pictures they took were awesome. Lots of great memories.

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.

Took a surf lesson here a few weeks ago while in Byron. The instructors were knowledgeable, passionate, and very nice. It was a wicked way to try surfing for the first time. Would highly recommend. Thank you for the great experience! :)

Great day and highly recommended A bucket list somewhat achieved as I did not manage to actually stand upright on the board; however, my age is likely the issue here and not that of the much younger generation of surf instructors attempting to teach an elder how to surf. The instructors were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, courteous, and extremely patient with all potential future surfers. The cost was very reasonable, and for at an additional cost, photographs are readily available. Great day and highly recommended.

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!

The only place to go for fun, friendly, confidence building lessons. This is a bit of a love letter to Let’s Go Surfing, but if you want a fun, welcoming and inspiring entry into surfing, you’ll get it here.
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!!!! 🏄🏻 🤩🐬

Lets NOT GO to Lets Go LET’S NOT GO to Let’s go.

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.

Poor surfing instructor with almost zero engagement with students Our instructor was definitely a good surfer, otherwise they wouldn’t be an instructor here, but not an experienced instructor at all.

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.

Amazing first experience First surfing lesson for my husband and I and we had fun! Misha, our instructor, was very friendly and taught us all the basics. He asked for our goal and helped us achieve them, while providing fun along the way

Managed to stand up with the help of Harry and Paul!!!!! I’m here on solo trip. I never tried surfing before. I had my first lesson with the instructor, Harry from Australia, who is very energetic and taught me a lot. My second and third lessons were with Paul from Barcelona. I felt safe when I was facing a big wave on my board having him held tightly of my legs and board. Although I can’t see how he pushed me, I saw how he pushed the other students, and I’m thankful. With his suggestion I managed to stand up.
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.

Awesome instructors and great surf We had the best experience with Nat our surf instructor. The whole time we felt safe and well supported and we managed to get standing on our surf boards on our first ever time surfing. Thank you so much Nat- you’re awesome!!

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!

We booked a family private with our 12 and 9 year old kids. Our instructor Lucas was a great teacher giving each of us individual support and tips. Definitely recommend Let's Go Surfing Byron Bay for a family surfing lesson

Surfing in Australia, you can do it too! The logistic and the treatment of the instructors was excellent. Bondi is a beautiful beach. I recommend this activity to beginners who want to try surfing for the first time. I did not give it 5 stars because the waves are not the best

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.

My partner and I went for a morning private lesson in Byron bay perfect conditions and great instructor, thanks Dan, his knowledge and calm attitude helped us have a great lesson and the best I have surfed to date. Thanks again Dan we will definitely hit up let’s go surfing and ask for you in any future visit.

First Timer Experience First time trying my hand at surfing. Both of the instructors were patient and understanding. Both also provided easy to understand instructions and guidance. So much so, that when I did mess up, I was able to understand exactly what I was doing wrong based off the lessons they gave and fixed it.

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.

Dylan and Greg from Byron are incredible facilitators. They made the day so enjoyable, and were really adaptable with the unpredictable weather. We had a group that ranged from a 7 - 15 years of age and they were so good at making sure everyone was included and cared for - highly recommend :)

Fantastic private lesson! My private lesson with Oscar was terrific, and he had endless patience. This was my first exposure to surfing - a gift to myself for a milestone birthday - and Oscar took it one step at a time. For me to even stay on the surfboard and get up on my knees was huge. Most importantly, it was terrific fun. Everyone at Let's Go Surfing was super friendly, encouraging, and helpful in making my lesson happen. Highly, highly recommended. Thank you again, LGS, for a fantastic day.

I really enjoyed our surf lesson today! It’s a 5 out of 5!
The team instructed us so well that nearly everyone could caught their own waves. Thanks for making us feel save and giving us the best experience!

We had a great first surf lesson with Dan. He was very patient and a great teacher, we really enjoyed our time. Would recommend to anyone who wants to give it a try. Thanks again Dan!! :)

I recently took the three day learn to surf package with Dylan and the team and not only was it fun first and foremost, but all the instructors are informative and friendly and help build your skills whatever the level. By the third lesson I was consistently standing and had a better understanding of surf conditions. Highly recommended

My son had private lessons with Dan and Ava at Let’s Go Surfing in Byron Bay in August 2023 and absolutely loved the experience. Both Dan and Ava were super lovely people and excellent teachers and my son is already talking about coming back again next year. Can’t thank the team enough, just brilliant.

Just finished my lesson with John he was really great! He was happy to cater the lesson to everybodys needs from complete beginner to more intermediate moves. 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!!

Great place to make your first steps in surfing! I took classes everyday for a week, all the instructors were not only helpful and encouraging, but really fun :)
I was able to make improvements every day and caught some great waves by myself in the end. Thanks to the whole team to making my stay in Byron so memorable!

Amazing surf lesson I absolutely loved this surf lesson! An amazing team who listens and helps you in the best way possible at anytime. Highly recommended.

Wow what an amazing surf school! Just had a lesson with Jade and Dan, and they were both amazing! they took the time to make sure everyone achieved their goals and made sure everyone was having fun. they were both so patient with everyone as well as being so supportive! Thank you for the best experience xx

Just had a beginner surfing lesson with Dan and Jade who were fantastic. They were both so enthusiastic and helpful and made our first surfing experience a really positive one! Couldn’t recommend more!

Megan is the best there is on Bondi Beach Our instructor, Megan, was amazing so patient and knowledgeable. This was a highlight of our time in the Sydney area, hands down.

My wife and I took a beginner group lesson with John and Ava as instructors a few weeks ago. They were knowledgeable, patient and made the the lesson fun. I like the fact that they have small group sizes so they can really look after everyone. The result was everyone being able to ride a wave and have a great time. Will definitely be back!

A great experience! The staff was top-notch all the way around. My lesson was with Wilson and Jordy and they were fantastic! They knew their stuff and were able to teach us in a way that was easily understood to the point where I was able to stand up and catch multiple waves on my own. I highly recommend this company if you are interested in a great experience for surfing lessons.

Our surf instructor John was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making our first surfing experience so positive. John patiently explained every step, improving our skills and boosting our confidence. He then helped us put his instruction into action. His infectious energy and love for the sport made the whole experience so enjoyable. We highly recommend him, and Let’s Go Surfing, for positive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic surfing instruction.

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!!

Had a wonderful time learning to surf with Mitch and Kim!! Super helpful tips and quick/clear instructions so we could get in the water quick. Both were also very encouraging and friendly!! Wish I could have taken more lessons :) thank you!

We spent an amazing time with Jade who was our instructor for the lesson. She was really good at explaining and gave us very precious advices. We were both beginners but we felt confident in the water thanks to her as well. We surfed at wrecked Beach and that was a super and safe spot to start. Thanks you for everything, such good vipes. Btw Jade is french so if you need a French speaking instructor just go for it ! ????

Great Teachers Yes, they really do get you surfing in under two hours! Everyone on staff was great, from the front desk to the instructor. Safe and competent instruction.
