About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 157ellav0 contributionsIncredible instructors!Soul Surf gave us the most amazing experience for our first time surfing. All the instructors were so incredible and helpful. They all really cared about our progress and made sure to find the best beaches with the best conditions for the day. If you wanna learn how to surf when you are in Byron Bay, definitely choose Soul Surf!Written September 6, 2024
- Maps166229243180 contributionsIncredible surf lesson!Amazing surf lessons! Absolutely recommend it! Well organised, so friendly and they give very good instructions and feedback for the surfWritten August 30, 2024
- josh_glacier0 contributionsPerfect for beginners 🤩Fantastic half day surf! No experience and managed to learn how to catch some waves by the end of it all. 🙂 The team there were extremely friendly and helpful and gave proper feedback. Beach recommendation was great as well.Written August 24, 2024
- 238zachf0 contributionsHighly Satisfied With EverythingI was really impressed by how professional an operation they had. We would load up on a bus and the instructor for the day would choose our location based off of conditions, which really allowed them to find a break that matched our group dynamics. The boards they offered were in good condition and they brought out 3 instructors on my 2nd day to ensure we had a low participant to instructor ratio. I did a 2-day lesson and saw a huge improvement to Day 2, so I would highly encourage that as a minimum. Johnny and Clem brought out super awesome vibes and I was lucky to have them on each day. Overall: really great experience and excited to continue practicing going forward!Written August 22, 2024

My husband and I had a private surf course with Angel yesterday. We've never stood on a surfboard before but Angel gave us a perfect introduction and explanation of surfing. It was great fun and we would have loved to extend our stay in Byron, just so we could have booked another surf course with Angel. He also gave us some great restaurant tips, which we were very grateful for. Many thanks for everything!

I had a private surfing lesson, and man - I'm hooked. I learned so much within the lesson, and it left me super keen to get out again soon. With a lesson straight from the get-go, I feel it help me sidestep bad habits and utter frustration. It'll help me with practice with more confidence as well as exercise (a great alternative to burpees!). Want to thank Matt and Soul Surf School for expert guidance and especially 'what to focus' once stand up is achieved.🏆🏆🏆

I’ve had such a great experience with Soul Surf. I’ve been taught confidence in my ability, technical guidance, how to select the best waves and surf the green water, and a few wise proverbs along the way, but most importantly
I’ve learnt ‘the best surfer out there is the one having the most fun.’ Thank you Kirsty for being such an incredible person and instructor 🦋
