- E1284YMalisonf0 contributionsAwesome experience! Highly recommendMy Fiancé and I went for a 2 hour surf lesson with Patrick, neither of us had much prior experience surfing and had an absolute blast. Patrick was very experienced and gave us all the ins and out and at the end of it we were able to surf a wave. What an amazing experience highly recommend to anyone! Ask for PatrickWritten 26 January 2025
- 618gilliank0 contributionsPatrick was super knowledgeable and approachable!My partner and I had been surfing a couple times a week for the past few months and needed a coach to help us solidify some of the basics. We worked with Patrick and really appreciated how he broke everything down for us! We are at slightly different levels, but Patrick was very conscious of how he split his time between us giving us each tasks and great feedback. We'll definitely be having our next lesson with him!Written 23 January 2025

- kathysJ9297NV0 contributionsThank you Luca and Patrick!Luca and Patrick were wonderful surfing coaches. With challenging conditions they worked with all of us individually to ensure we had the best time, and gave us great tips to do our best surfing and navigate the waves. They were also particularly good with our kids.Written 9 January 2025
- jennifermR293TJ0 contributionsAmazing experience!I recently had a fantastic experience at Margaret River Surf School for a private lesson with my friend, and I can't recommend it enough! As a beginner, i was quite nervous, but our coach, Alex, made the experience truly enjoyable. He was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, creating a welcoming atmosphere that put us at ease right away. Alex’s patience and encouragement were invaluable in helping us build our confidence in the water. You could really tell how passionate he is about surfing and the ocean, which made the lesson even more enjoyable. When the waves got a bit rough for me, another coach checked in on me, encouraging me to take a breather and then return to finish strong. This level of support from the whole team was a highlight of the experience. Everyone at Margaret River Surf School was so friendly, and I genuinely appreciated the welcoming vibe.Written 6 January 2025
- K8821MHmatthewc0 contributionsAWESOME!Had a great session and learnt loads of things about my surfing, as well as the ocean. Jorge was rallying helpful and instructive who was really good at judging where the student is at and how to tailor his instruction to help the student progress the surfing. Super positive, very fun - thoroughly recommend to anyone in Margaret River or surrounds - or anyone visiting!Written 4 January 2025

- 639jink0 contributionsSuch an awesome experienceWe had a private 3 lesson for my two kids. We had a Arther for the first lesson, my kids love his joke and had a fun time, my kids picked up very quickly from him from the first class. And we had Jorge for last 2 sessions. He is amazingly good. Especially my older girl learned so much from him and had a great experience to try deep end which I can’t help my kids as I’m not a surfer. Much appreciated for everyone. They are very kind and super nice team. Thanks heaps 👍Written 2 January 2025
- victoriatP448JK0 contributionsAmazing fun, in really safe hands!! Couldn’t recommend enough.We had so much fun on our private lesson. Our coach Ollie was amazing, he kept a really close eye on the children and had a brilliant way, with them, allowing for the adults to relax and have a go too! We honestly can’t thank him enough for his support, encouragement and friendliness! If we had longer we would book to surf with him again tomorrow!!Written 28 December 2024
- keiram20200 contributionsArthur rocks!Booked a 2hr private lesson for my 15yo and 12yo who have never surfed before. Communication was nice and easy, got a text and call the night before to confirm. Kids had a lesson with Arthur who was awesome. So good that another lesson was booked for the next day with him. Kids loved him and he got them both up in the boards. Great experience by a great company. Highly recommend.Written 4 October 2024

LUCA & Patrick provided professional, appropriate information to support, teach & make the lessons enjoyable for all. Perfect conditions on the first day allowed all to brush up there skills. Second day was more challenging but Lucca & Patrick enabled all to push their limits in choppy conditions & learn to steer aswell as stand. Professional outfit, 3rd day saw sore bodies, but with enthusiastic coaches all enjoyed the final day of surfing feeling a sense of achievement. HIGHLY recommend as staff knowledgeable, relaxed but attentive to variety of needs of group & who were able to engage & build rapport with kids.

My husband and daughter did a 5 day lesson. I went along and watched each day. They improved a little everyday with the wonderful coaching and experience that was offered. The instructors were all very helpful, kind and very friendly. Even from the beach I could tell my family were in great hands. Arthur was our favorite. The age group during the week was very wide, with different experiences, the boys looked after everyone equally with experience, safety and care.

I had an unreal experience with the Margaret River surf school from start to finish. Enthusiastic coach with great coaching directions helped change me from a complete beginner who’s never surfed before to being able to stand up on a board. I also gained the knowledge of staying safe on Australias coast when swimming/surfing solo which is going to be so beneficial. Would highly recommend this company if you want good fun and to learn a new skill. Thanks again for a brilliant 3 days

The instructors were lovely, but WAY too many students to instructors. People just sitting in the water with their boards, waiting to be told what to do but it is impossible for one instructor (as lovely as they were) to help 8 novices learn to surf. Great concept, great people, but rather reduce the numbers and increase the price if required, as you don’t get much out of it in its current format.

Signed our kids up for a single lesson while we were camping in Margs for the holidays. and they LOVED it. They have never surfed before, and the surf instructors were incredibly patient and encouraging. The kids loved it so much we booked them in for a second lesson. Highly recommend.

I've made the trip down to Margaret River from Perth a few weekends across this summer. Grew up in the ocean but never learned to surf and always wanted to! In my 30s, giving it a good crack learning and I've been really grateful and impressed by my experiences in the water with these guys. Arthur's been there every lesson - great teacher - patient, knowledgeable and skilled, lots of great tips as I slooooowly build some confidence out there. :-) Thanks to all the coaches!

I took my Outdoor Education students down for a 3 day surfing camp which included using Margaret River Surf School as the instructors and suppliers. They were fantastic with the students and taught the skills of surfing in an enjoyable and engaging way. The equipment provided was excellent and the safety for all involved was always of importance and reinforced by instructors at all times. I would highly recommend Jarrad and the Margaret River Surf School to any school group who is looking at using an external provider in Margaret River. Thank you and we will see you again next year.

In 2 hours, Matt had my not-so-confident 11 year old daughter (who rarely goes to the beach) riding the waves and actually standing up on her board! He was very patient with her and you can tell he enjoys his job. She now can't wait for her next lesson! Thanks so much Matt!...... I would recommend this experience to anyone!

First impressions/experiences are always really important, because it something goes wrong you may not do it again...and it would be a pity if we talk about surfing!!
Our first experience has been so great! Matt taught and encourage you to do it better and better. His passion for the sport is contagious, we really love surfing now!
We will keep practicing and for sure we hope to come back soon

As beginners, we got a bit unlucky with extremely big waves, so it felt quite unsafe as we were surfing in an area full of rocks which could have been dangerous. Since the conditions were quite dangerous, only one student at a time could try to catch a wave with one of the instructors, while the other people had to wait and paddle away from the rocks and massive waves. Due to this, we were in a rotation system and we only had the opportunity to go about 6 times each in 2 hours of lesson. The instructor Jorge was friendly and helped us paddle in the waves. We still had fun, but it didn’t feel completely safe and definitely not beginner friendly. If the conditions are better and you can surf on a beach with sand, it is probably much better.
