I had a fantastic private surf lesson today with Harry. He was patient, clear, and really took the time to guide me through everything in order. The conditions were perfect — calm, consistent waves and beautiful weather. The gear was excellent and so warm that I could have stayed in the water for hours! As an adult learner, this time of year is ideal — the beach was quiet, and the waves were just right for building confidence. Although I’ve surfed before, I needed a solid refresher, and with Harry’s advice I was back up on the board in no time. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!
Great experience with great people Our six-year-old did a 3-day surf camp with these guys in Curracloe in August and he loved every minute of it. The group was pretty big, about 14 kids ranging age from 6 to 12 or 13. The teachers were all super friendly and very thorough in their instruction. The weather wasn't the best and the water was freezing, but the atmosphere was great and he had a ball. Managed to stand up and ride his first wave on day three!
My son Ollie did a two day camp in the surf shack with his cousins he had a blast and said it was the best camp he ever did !! Harry was his instructor and I couldn’t be happier he was amazing with the kids. He is such a great teacher and so friendly with Ollie . Ollie was asking harry about the jellyfish and harry picked one up and explained all about the jellyfish. Thanks again, Katie
Thank you all so much for an amazing morning..one my daughter & I will never forget! It made her 16th birthday very special. Adam & Harry were so calm & helpful & put us at ease. And we managed not to fall in! Jack Tim took amazing photos & had coffee ready on the beach. We would highly recommend it for locals & visitors alike. Thanks again, it was the high light of 2025!!!

We came to surfing at a mature age, so called late vocations in life. All 3 of us had a blast with nimble footed Dakota our very entertaining and confidence building instructor. While we occasionally were gazumpted by nearby Juniors standing on their boards, we always in hope that someday we too will surf those waves. We will be back Jack Tim. If the thought enters your head Just do it. Its never too late to try.
