About this tour
A half-day surf lesson in Byron Bay that matches you to the right beach based on daily conditions and your ability. Whether you're brand new to the board or returning to the water, instructors teach you to read waves and find your feet—literally. Pick-up from the shop, all gear supplied. If you don't stand up on your first go, you get a free return lesson to prove yourself.

What to expect
You'll meet at the shop 15 minutes before the start time, kit up with a wetsuit and board, then head to whichever beach is firing that day. Instructors read the swell and place you where the waves match your ability. Expect a mix of land drills—how to pop up, weight distribution—and plenty of time paddling out and attempting to catch sets. Water and encouragement are constant. Most people manage at least a few rides by the end; if you're still finding your legs, you've got a free shot at another session.
Good to know
Meet at the shop, not your hotel—15 minutes before your booked time. Contact 24 hours ahead to confirm your start time. Minimum age 12 for group lessons; younger kids do private sessions. All fitness levels welcome.
