I was so nervous about trying surfing, but Saltwater Surf School was amazing! The instructors were incredibly patient, especially with my fear of rips. After just a few lessons, I was standing up, and I felt so much safer knowing how to read the ocean. Highly recommend them!

Took my two kids (8 and 10) to Saltwater Surf School during the holidays. They absolutely loved it! The instructors had them catching waves by the end of the first day and taught them so much about beach safety. We'll definitely be back next year.

The womens-only sessions at Saltwater Surf School were brilliant. It was such a supportive and fun atmosphere, and I felt really comfortable learning with other women. My surfing has improved heaps, and I've made some great new friends.
