Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I’m an experienced surfer with 30 years in the water. Kevin was able to point out really helpful tips to help fine tune my skills. We got on waves with challenging conditions. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or experienced surfer, I’d highly recommend a private lesson from Torquay Surf Academy.

Booked two hour lesson and I wasn't sure if I will be able to get anything out of it as I am not a good swimmer. But Brad, our instructor was very kind and helpful. He made sure we were safe and learning in best possible way. H e explained the basics very clearly which gave us good exposure to surf easily. By the end one of us was able to stand on the surfing board while I was able to get on my knee. We are happy to have selected Torquay Surf academy and will recommend to anyone who wish to learn the most in a day. You should book online a day prior as lessons begin at 10am.

Absolutely loved my surf lesson today! The guys were so nice at the surf shop and lent me a wetsuit. The boards were super forgiving and the instruction was so good. I’m so happy with how it went. Wasn’t cold at all even tho it was mid winter. Was so exhilarating to stand-up a good few times during the lesson. How exciting! Really recommend these guys.

My whole family and I had a private surf lesson. We all really loved it. Everyone managed to stand up and some of us did really well. The instruction and equipment was truly first class. The wet suits were much appreciated and I didn’t feel cold at all. The instructor was friendly, patient and very helpful. I didn’t want the 2 hours to end but at the same time we were all exhausted. I would recommend this to anyone who can swim well and enjoys the beach. We are now hooked on surfing and may well do some again very soon if we can fit it in to our schedule. Thank you for such a memorable and fantastic experience.

Is it still advisable to surf during the month of June?

Yep all good we have 4/3 warm suits boots and even a hood if you want. The waves are better during the coldest months of the year. So it is worth a trip down the coast.
