Catching our First Waves
Absolutely thrilled with our first-ever surfing lesson at Margaret River Surfing Academy! The instructors were not only highly skilled and safety focused, but they were also incredibly patient, making the experience enjoyable for both the adults and the kids in our group. Their passion for surfing and dedication to teaching shone through, creating a positive and memorable atmosphere. From mastering the basics to catching our first waves, the guidance was top-notch. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to surfing. Kudos to the entire team at Margaret River Surfing Academy for an unforgettable day by the waves!Great experience
Had a blast with our instructor who was very positive and encouraging, it wasn’t a stiff or impersonal lesson and just adjusted according to how we were going which is perfect for this kind of experience. Loved it and will recommend all the timeSafe, knowledgeable and fun
Everything you'd want from a surf school. Safe, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun. They provided a wetsuit, board and wax. All you need is a towel and some zinc. My 12 year old loved it. Great guys with heaps of love for the sport that they want to share with you. Highly recommended.
