The Reviews

I had my first surfing lesson today and it was absolutely amazing! I had a great experience thanks to a wonderful coach Igor who was very supportive. Hope to come back soon 😌

Alina Maksumova

Had an awesome time surfing with Manly Surf School today! Big shoutout to my instructor Taz – super helpful and thanks to him I finally got the hang of it. Big thanks to a bearded instructor on the shore giving us great tips and encouragement, which really helped. We paddled out to a deeper part of the bay and I caught several solid waves!Super fun and memorable experience!

Eugen M.

On holiday from the UK and wanted to give surfing a try and this was the perfect place. The group session was brilliant, we were split up by experience so all the first timers were together.

Ollie was a legend and managed to get us all riding waves. Just a shame I don’t have time to have another go!!

Thomas Edwards

I almost forgot to share my experience with Manly Surf School! As a first-time surfer, I really enjoyed my time there and learned the basic fundamentals. After many attempts, I finally managed to stabilise myself—which is all part of the process! The trainers were patient and helpful, even on a busy Sunday. I had such a great time that I signed up for another session in the coming Tuesday. Big thumbs up to all the team there :)
