“Excellent tuition and fun.”
Our surfing lessons were great. All three managed to stand up. The instructors were enthusiastic, helpful and made the whole experience feel enjoyable.
“Highly recommended.”
Grandchildren aged 10 and 8 had never surfed before and were both standing on their boards by the end of the two-hour session. They absolutely loved it.

Booked for the second time with Outer Reef for family surfing lessons. The whole family progressed and laughed their way through each lesson.

Amazing location, great guides and instructors. My daughter was able to stand up straight away and wants to get a SUP board of her own. Fab experience and super holiday memory.
