About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- keiram20200 contributionsArthur rocks!Booked a 2hr private lesson for my 15yo and 12yo who have never surfed before. Communication was nice and easy, got a text and call the night before to confirm. Kids had a lesson with Arthur who was awesome. So good that another lesson was booked for the next day with him. Kids loved him and he got them both up in the boards. Great experience by a great company. Highly recommend.Written October 4, 2024
- O3734ZBreneeg0 contributionsAmazingAmazing instructor, my boys took away a lot of tips and skills from there lesson with george! Highly recommend Margaret river surf school! Thanks guysWritten September 8, 2024
- 981sheenah0 contributionsFabulous!Could not recommend this experience more highly! Arthur, the lead coach, was informative, patient and made our whole group feel safe and supported in weather conditions that were not ideal. As an added bonus, as Arthur is originally from Germany, he was able to seamlessly transition from English to German which was ideal for our mixed group of Australians and Swiss. Enormous thanks to Arthur for creating an experience for us that we'll never forget!!Written April 28, 2024
- 860in_sm0 contributionsAmazing surf school!We were looking for tips to transition from beginner to intermediate and Luke has been an amazing instructor. We learnt a lot about specifics to properly surf the waves but also about reading the waves, positioning ourselves, angle to pop up, etc. We definitely recommend this surf school which is very serious and your gonna have lot of fun!Written February 2, 2024
- U2023JVleep0 contributionsSuper professional fun surf schoolGreat bunch of people always friendly and professional. My 9 yr old has done multiple group sessions and one private. They always keep the kids really safe in the water and push thier limits while also making them feel safe. Arthur was a great fit for Clay as a coachWritten January 15, 2024
- Emma-Jo310 contributionsTop job FinnMy 8yo daughter did a solo private lesson with Finn during these school holidays. He was GREAT with her. He made sure she was warmed up, understood everything and was feeling safe. He knew exactly how to talk with her and did not leave her side in the water. I felt very confident with Finn instructing her. Third wave and she was up surfing! She had the best time in the water, was so happy with the waves she caught and can't wait to go back for more lessons!! Thanks MR surf school & Finn. Will be highly recommending 🤙Written January 12, 2024
- Janitravelstheworld0 contributionsAwesome Surf Lesson by GeorgeWe (2 friends) had an awesome lesson with George! He has a wonderful way of teaching how to surf based on our level of experience - so that we both could take out most of the time we had in the water. We highly recommend Margarte Ricer Surf School (and especially George :)) and hope to meet you soon again.Written December 31, 2023

- T900PWrobynw0 contributionsGreat private lessonGreat private lesson with Amy. Lots of fun for the adults and Amy was great with the kids, helping them to get up on the board and keep their balance.Written April 15, 2023
- Mirnitaaa0 contributionsFun surfing but not the best lessonsI took two group lessons and one private lesson. They were all ok. In the group lessons there were both total beginners and those who had already taken one or two lessons, but everyone was taught the same things starting from the very beginning. Teachers were experienced and nice, the gear good and the location super beautiful. However, I have been in other surf schools with even more personalised approach where even in the group lessons the teachers know everyone’s name and follow your progress more individually. Unfortunately this was not the case here. All in all it was still a fun experience. Communicating and booking was easy and they were very flexible.Written April 13, 2023
- 156renaef0 contributionsIt was very helpful and enjoyableLoved the lesson! Amy was very friendly and encouraging, she did a great job of setting me up to catch the waves.Written March 14, 2023
- Steve F0 contributionsDespite overcast damp start to the morning, our group of 6 girls and 1 boy aged 12-14 had so much fun. See you next yearAs always instructors were so good with the kids, taking the time to help each one enjoy the experience. This is the 6th year my girls and their friends have done Surf lessons and always look forward to going back.Written January 28, 2023

I had an unreal experience with the Margaret River surf school from start to finish. Enthusiastic coach with great coaching directions helped change me from a complete beginner who’s never surfed before to being able to stand up on a board. I also gained the knowledge of staying safe on Australias coast when swimming/surfing solo which is going to be so beneficial. Would highly recommend this company if you want good fun and to learn a new skill. Thanks again for a brilliant 3 days

We were a group of 7 friends of varying beginner abilities - did the 2 hour group lesson.
Matt was a fantastic instructor. Clear instructions on the beach about safety and technique but we were quickly in the water at Redgate catching waves.
Matt was so encouraging and gave great tips. He made the lesson lots of fun.

We did the 2 hour group surf lesson and it was so much fun. Big cheers to the guys for running the lesson. Went from not being able to get up in the white water waves, to being able to successfully ride the greenies into shore. Would definitely recommend for something fun and exciting to do down south.

Signed our kids up for a single lesson while we were camping in Margs for the holidays. and they LOVED it. They have never surfed before, and the surf instructors were incredibly patient and encouraging. The kids loved it so much we booked them in for a second lesson. Highly recommend.

I've made the trip down to Margaret River from Perth a few weekends across this summer. Grew up in the ocean but never learned to surf and always wanted to! In my 30s, giving it a good crack learning and I've been really grateful and impressed by my experiences in the water with these guys. Arthur's been there every lesson - great teacher - patient, knowledgeable and skilled, lots of great tips as I slooooowly build some confidence out there. :-) Thanks to all the coaches!

I booked this for myself and my boyfriend as part of our trip down to Margaret River.
I am not a confident swimmer, and typically I try to avoid the ocean. Both the instructors were caring, considerate and supportive throughout.
Even as a complete beginners, with the help of the instructors, we were both able to stand up and had lots of time to practise.
The experience was thrilling, fun and I would not hesitate to book this experience again and again.
It was the highlight of our trip
Thank you

We’ve used this company for group bookings for the past few years. As always, our experience was so much fun with a professional crew! Matty was once again amazing. If you’re in town BOOK with these guys! Great quality staff, boards and wetsuits.

Myself and my brother did a group lesson with Bec. She described everything clearly and it didn’t take up too much time before we jumped on the board to practice. She ran through some great tips also, getting out past the waves.
We were soon in the sea. It was a rough sea, but she helped us all eventually and we all managed to stand up by the end of it.
At the end of the class, she even ran into the sea to rescue someone who got caught in a rip. A real hero, especially as Redgate beach doesn’t have lifeguards.

I'm 63 and managed to get up on the board a few times on the first lesson. Great, supportive team on the beach and in the water. The equipment all looked in first-class condition to me (as far as I can tell as a novice). Recommended to newbies like me. It's got me interested in learning more when I get back to the east coast.
