Don’t recommend!!!!!!

Kelly 2 February 2025

Our teacher was lovely, such a kind girl trying to help everyone. But we weren’t notified of where to meet, we had to call to find out on the day, and was told to meet at a van. Where no one was there. Then eventually we waited and the teachers approached us and said we are waiting for the others, we will come get you. Once they arrived, they forgot about us and the lesson itself was over 25 minutes late. The instructions we very vague. Then almost just left for the hour and 30 we had to try our best and figure it out. Again the young girl was so kind, just the whole experience wasn’t professional at all, I wouldn’t pay that money for it again.

Incredible

Tara 27 January 2024

Arty was absolutely incredible! He caught our vibe straight away and knew we just wanted to have a good laugh while learning to surf. He taught us on the go which was both absolutely hilarious and super effective for us! Will definitely be back!

Excellent surf experience

Ella 3 January 2024

Was given a surf lesson voucher for Christmas to improve my skills. I’m only a progressive beginner and need a lot of extra practice. Torquay Surf Academy was wonderful and the instructor gave me lots of opportunities to catch many waves!

Fantastic experience!

Torquay Surf Academy

Archie 8 January 2022

Torquay is a great place to surf. I was in a group of approx. 16 with 2 instructors. I was in my own wetsuit and on a different coloured board so for much of the time was left out and only received instruction and 2 pushes into the waves over the 2 hour session. Nice team but not really great value

Great experience

Chloe 7 December 2020

Had a wonderful time learning to surf with the Surf Coast Academy on Sunday. Staff were friendly and group numbers were good!

Private surf lesson

Olga 24 March 2020

My son had a great time, the instructor was awesome he also not only ran through teaching my son to get on the board, he also recommended which board is most suitable for him. Totally worth it.

Great Christmas Present Idea

Karen 7 January 2020

I booked the 2 hour experience for my daughter and two teenage granddaughters as a Christmas Present. All really enjoyed the experience, spent most of their time in the water, had a great time and it was obvious to me that they were in safe hands. They said that the instructors were brilliant; they provided Initial training and then let them attempt to surf providing helpful advice when needed. The group was small and there was a wide range in ages. I would definitely recommend this experience to others.
