Get ready for salt-sprayed smiles, belly-laugh wipeouts and that ‘I can’t believe I just did that’ buzz. Whether it’s your first wave or your fiftieth, the fun starts the moment you hit the water.

Amazing. Went out with Bill...loads of energy and fantastic coaching... We were standing up in no time. Thanks Wailin, Bill and the crew. If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

fantastic team here... our second year running and the instructors are as terrific as my family remember.

When there are no waves, they also quickly provided options for the kids, and rolled my money over to a new booking.

Would highly recommend.

Went for a beginner lesson and couldn’t have had a better time. All the instructors were great, shout out to Billy whose group we were in and gave great instruction and the rest of the team who were great. Will definitely be back.

My 7 year old did a taster surf lesson and was so hooked she went on to persuade her mum, dad, and 5 year old sister to try too. It was so brilliant. Both kids are hooked and want to come back next year to do a full week of surfing. Excellent business with excellent staff. Can’t fault it. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Surfs Up enough! We booked a private group session as a family which was lead by Wailin. From booking with Lucy, the wonderfully friendly and accommodating office manager to the actual lesson, the whole experience was fantastic. Wailin brought so much energy and fun and is just the most fantastic teacher. We were all surprised at how quickly we took to surfing and that was down to the easy to follow teaching style with individual focus on where we each needed tweaking. I let Wailin know that one of our group is deaf and he dealt with this fantastically and professionally. We loved every minute and believe this has triggered a lifelong hobby for us as we all rented boards the next day from them and already have our next trip planned. Thanks to the Surfs Up team for a life-changing experience. We will be back! 🤙🏼

So happy I picked Surfs Up!
Had the best time on my first lesson, Waylon is a great teacher, so helpful, supportive, and patient. His enthusiasm is really infectious and he makes it super fun!
After 2 hours I was making progress and my confidence started to grow, honestly I didn’t want to get out of the water I loved it.
Can’t wait to get back out there.
Thank you Waylon and Lucy, you guys are awesome 🙌
