It’s was great for the beginners. The instructors were nice and experience was amazing. Definitely recommend it.
James was our teacher. My wife and I booked three lessons, we have completed two with James and will take our third in a few days, after some practice. James started us off with the first 30 minutes of the lesson on the sand, learning about waves, the currents, safety and the techniques needed to get up on the board. We practiced our pop-ups on the sand before venturing into the waves. Once in the waves, James had the whole lesson very well organised, starting off taking turns with him in the water, then everybody catching their own waves with James rotating through the group helping us all by pushing us into the waves and then advising us on how to do it better. He was very attentive to his group, gave us good advice on how to get out through the waves, how to deal with the heavier waves etc. James was helping and watching everyone, sharing his time between us all. An excellent experience. Thanks James.
Hey Jonn, Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re so glad you and your wife have enjoyed your lessons with James. He’ll be stoked to hear your kind words. It’s great to know you felt safe, supported and well guided both on the sand and in the water. We love seeing our guests build confidence each lesson, and we can’t wait to have you back for your third session after some practice. Thanks again for choosing us! 🤙
It was so much fun! We had two instructors for the whole group and they explained everything really good and kept on giving personal advices. Would book again!
Absolutely amazing experience! I am new to surfing and I learnt so much and rode so many waves! Anthony and Crawf were the best and so helpful, highly recommend!!
Roberto and Oa where amazing! not only was a standing on my 3rd attempt successfully, they also helped me with my fear of large waves! it was such a great time I would recommend wearing lots of sunscreen since its very easy to get a super bad sunburn. we had a 1 hour visit and it was more then enough. personally the atmosphere was just so happy and light despite it being a surfing lessen. plus there was barley anyone else there!
Our instructor, James, treated us exceptionally for our first ever surf session- both my sister & I went with no experience at all. By the end of the 2-hr session James made an introduction to waves & the surf environment & gave enough technical skill to be riding small waves, paddling, & timing catching waves on our own; special mentions of energy conservation / reading waves, rip currents, venturing into bigger waves, local knowledge. James was passionate about surfing & comes from a lifetime of experience. Booking was easy through Tripadvisor on short notice the night before, due to another company having to cancel, & we checked in with our name on the official list in the morning.
Thanks so much for the great review! We’re stoked you and your sister had such a positive first surf experience with us. James is incredibly passionate about surfing and loves sharing his knowledge of the waves, ocean safety, and local conditions, so it’s awesome to hear that came through in your lesson. Even better that you were both paddling and catching waves on your own by the end of the session — that’s what we love to see! Thanks as well for mentioning the easy booking and smooth check-in. Hope to see you back in the water with us again next time you’re in Noosa! 🌊🏄♀️
I highly recommend Merrick Surf School. The groups are small and it’s great value for money. A special thank you to the surf instructor Oa, who made the lessons very individual and gave everyone individual feedback.
Thank you so much for your wonderful recommendation! 🌊 We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your experience at Merrick Surf School and found our small group sizes and value worthwhile. Creating a personal and supportive learning environment is something we truly care about. A special thanks for mentioning Oa — we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words! She’ll be thrilled to hear his individual feedback and tailored approach made such a positive impact. We hope to see you back on the waves with us again soon! 🏄♂️

We hope this is just the beginning of many more adventures for you — and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🌊
Big group any many surfers in the water. The instructors could have been more active then they where. But it was trickie waves and not.the best conditions for a first try.
Thanks for your honest feedback 🤙 We appreciate you sharing your experience. It was definitely a busy day in the water and the conditions were a bit tricky, which can make first-time sessions more challenging. We’ll take your comments on board and always aim to be as active and supportive as possible. Thanks again for giving it a go, and we hope you’ll get to surf with us again in better conditions 🌊
I’m an intermediate surfer, looking to pick up good instruction. The coaching here was excellent plus they made it fun. I’d recommend them, for sure.
Thanks so much for the great feedback! 🤙 So stoked to hear you enjoyed the coaching and had fun while sharpening your surfing. We love helping intermediate surfers take the next step. Really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you back out there again soon! 🌊
