The best few days

I signed up for the four day (2 hours a day course), I had one day with Benny, two days with Simon and my final day with Jonny. I had such a fantastic time overall, all the surf instructors were knowledgeable and personable. Simon took a group of us out to deeper waters with bigger waves and I have not and will not stop talking about, the absolute best experience!!! Can’t wait to go surfing again. 🏄‍♀️🤙

Operator response

Thanks so much for sharing this Jennifer! We’re stoked you had such a great four days with Benny, Simon and Jonny. That session out in the bigger waves sounds like a dream! We’ll pass your kind words on to the crew. Hope we see you back in the water soon 🏄‍♀️🤙

I LOVE SOUL SURF SCHOOL!

I cannot recommend Soul Surf School enough!! I went with two of my girl friends and we booked 2hr lessons for two days. Our instructor was Johnny both days and he was AWESOME!! On the first day were in a group of six, all of whom had never surfed before. This was a great size to learn in because we kept rotating to ensure everyone got little breaks when needed but also got the most out of the two hour lesson. When we arrived to the beach, we did a quick warm up, practiced a few times on the sand, and immediately went into the ocean. While I was intimidated to just get up and try, Johnny was great with corrections and advice to make each attempt better. On the second day, not only did he remember our names from the prior day, he also remembered what to work on and we immediately saw the difference. After just two lessons, I was able to successfully surf some waves completely on my own! I am so so happy that I did Soul Surf School and am so grateful for Johnny and the rest of the staff for being so kind, welcoming, and helpful!

Operator response

Chloe, thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re stoked that you and your friends had such a great time and made so much progress over the two lessons. Johnny will be absolutely wrapped to hear this. He takes great pride in remembering everyone’s names and what they’re working on, so it’s awesome that you noticed such a difference on day two—and were catching waves completely on your own! Thanks again for choosing Soul Surf School. We loved having you girls along and hope to see you back in the water next time you’re in Byron Bay! 🤙 The Soul team

Five star service !💫

Could not fault this experience!! Simon went above and beyond to make my sons lesson extra special. So great with kids and a wealth of knowledge . Thankyou so much for sharing you passion and love of surfing with us

Operator response

What a beautiful review—thank you! Simon genuinely loves introducing kids to surfing, so knowing he made your son’s lesson extra special will mean a lot to him. It was a pleasure having you both with us, and hopefully this is the beginning of a lifelong love of the ocean for your son! Cheers, the Soul team

Top of my Byron Bucket list!

I booked a private as I hadn’t surfed in a while and I’m not familiar with the beach conditions and breaks. Being a solo traveller, I wanted the companion and guidance of an experienced instructor. Ben was awesome, gave me heaps of tips other instructors have not in the past. I’ll be booking again before I leave Byron!

Operator response

Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re stoked Ben could help you get comfortable with the local conditions and give you a few new tips along the way. Hope you had plenty more waves while you were in Byron, and we’d love to have you back for another session in future! 🤙🌊

Perfect experience!

We booked a session for our 11 year old son who had no surfacing experience. Our instructor Beau was incredible. Super kind, patient and friendly. Everything you’d want from an instructor. Perfect experience!

Operator response

Thanks so much for the review! We're stoked your son had such a great first surfing experience. Beau is not only an amazing coach but also a two-time World Longboard Champion, so he certainly knows a thing or two about surfing! We'll be sure to pass on your kind words. Hope to see you all back in Byron soon. Cheers, the Soul team

Ask for Bea!

I got a lesson for my daughter for her 11th birthday. She is a complete beginner with not much experience in the ocean. Her instructor was Bea and she was hands down the best instructor for my daughter. She helped her feel safe and confident in the water and had her standing up by the end of her first lesson! She was the loveliest and friendliest person and we are so grateful to her that we have decided to book in some more lessons with her specifically. Thanks Bea for giving my girl the best birthday :)

Operator response

Hi there, Thank you so much for your kind words — this absolutely made our day! We’re so stoked to hear your daughter had such a special 11th birthday and that her first surf experience was such a positive one. Bea is an absolute legend, and we’ll be sure to pass this on to her — she’ll be over the moon to hear how much it meant. It’s awesome to hear your daughter was up and riding on her first lesson and, even more importantly, felt safe and confident in the water — that’s exactly what we aim for. Thanks again for choosing us to be part of such a special day 😊 Cheers,

Wery nice surfschool close to the beach

We had two 2 hours lessons yesterday and today. We learned a lot from our instructor who was really nice, professional and good at explaining what to think of. Me and my daughter could stand up and surf the waves on our own after the first lesson.

Operator response

Hey there, that's so cool that both you and your daughter surfed together and caught waves together!! Thanks so much for surfing with us, happy to be part of these memories! Keep surfing, the Soul team
