Surfing Lessons in Sydney

Sydney, Australia

Want to learn how to surf? Where could be better than Sydney, the heart of Australia's surfing culture. For a great, fun-filled introduction to surfing, take this full-day tour to a beach just 45 minutes south of Sydney, where you'll learn all the basics of board surfing from your fully qualified surf instructor.

Your surfing tour includes four hours of surfing lessons, divided into two-hour sets, and your surfboard and wetsuit are supplied. You'll travel by four-wheel drive over the sand dunes and along vast stretches of empty beach to find perfect waves for learners, away from other surfers.

Surf for the whole day with progressive surf lessons in an unhurried environment. With a little help from your qualified surf instructor, it's guaranteed you will be able to stand up on your board by the end of the day. It's a scenic day out in Sydney, so bring your camera, swimsuit, towel and sunscreen. There's free time in the day to rest and take in the scenery, and lunch and refreshments are included.

This tour does not operate during the winter season between May - September.

this looked promising but once we were picked up the driver had to get fuel, a prescription for his sinuses and food. Once at the beach (about 1-1 1/2 hr drive from sydney and not a comfy ride) i thought the waves were to small for beginners as you had to quickly stand before the wave disappeared but apparently they were "perfect". There was 1 group of 4 and our group of 2, the instructor spent most of his time with the other group who managed to stand up, we were not able to and obviously needed help. The beach BBQ and plates etc were covered in sand but we managed not to eat any of the sand!! After lunch the waves totally disappeared and could not really do anything. Spent about 2-3hrs in the water. The rest was driving filling up with fuel etc

I highly recommended this school because they took us to a very secluded beach where we could surf all day without running into other people, this is very important when you first learned to surf. I went to Bondi the day after this lesson and found people everywhere in the water, I cannot avoid running my board into them. The lesson was good and plenty of surf time. We surfed so much, we were completely worn out and still had 2 hrs left to surf. The instructor kept encouraging us to continue surfing but none us had the strength anymore. By the way, your knees will get scratched up pretty bad, so wear a knee pad until you get good. The sand will scratch up your knees and the salt will attach your wound, that's what wears you out and can't surf anymore but no worries about injuries.

Excellent day! The lessons were great and managed to stand up at the end of the day. The lunch was a good selection of stuff excellently prepared. With anything like this what you put in is what you get out of it.

Surfing in Australia is a must!

The lesson was good, but I would have preferred if the guys had bought lunch supplies earlier and not wasted our time during the trip. Also in the back of the truck in the rain was extremely cold after surfing but hey, nothing we can do about that.

Yay! I learned to surf. I got a bit scraped up, but rode in some waves and had a good time. Overall it was a great tour -- the beach was lovely, the guys who instructed us were fun and professional, and lunch was good. I did wish we got to stay about an hour more -- we got there at 10.30ish and left at 3, with a break for lunch and instruction time. It didn't feel like I got to surf as much as I would've liked.
