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.

My daughter had an excellent experience and is looking forward to her next lesson. Clear advice, careful attention and encouragement. She had a ball. Highly recommend Miles and the team at Learn to Surf Newcastle

Team was very organised. Had the kids in their gear and onto the beach within 10 minutes. Also surfed for close to 100 minutes! Miles and Asher took particular care with my granddaughter who had never surfed. She got to her feet a few times too. Grandson went straight back to his previous skills he picked up from Miles. Got some new ones during the lesson also

It felt very disorganized. We barely knew who our guide was in the beginning. The guide showed a little quickly how to make pop up on the beach after that we went straight into the water. In the water we got close to no advise. I would like there to be clearer instructions on the beach and more explanations of which waves to take, what safety measures to take, at last more of a lesson than just going out in the water. The only plus with this beginner lesson was that it was a good location.

Highly recommend Miles and team Learn to Surf Newcastle. It was the first time surfing for me and my 2 daughters (8 and 7 years old) and we all had a blast. Within 5 minutes of the lesson, my girls asked me for a surf board for christmas and when we could come back to Newcastle to surf with Coach Miles. Amazing activity for young or old and can't wait to come back.

Miles and the team are very experienced and knowledgeable local coaches who provide a relaxed atmosphere to learn in. Have done the group and private lessons and found both are really helpful for improving your surfing. Highly recommend for beginners and more advanced surfers.

I've had multiple beginner group classes with Miles and the team and have felt myself progress with each lesson. Every coach is dedicated to making sure you get the most out of your time and they give you feedback on almost every wave. It's an awesome atmosphere and the team are very encouraging and supportive. They cater to all ages from the smallest groms up to adults. Would recommend to anyone.

Time moves fast when you're having fun. It was a great one on one sesh with Miles who taught me plenty of things on surfing in 1 lesson. His teaching method is efficient. Miles was very engaging. My beginner skills weren't as impressive but wishing to surprise him one day when I come back for intermediate lessons 😄

My son had a great day with Miles and Amy. The majority of the session was spent in the water polishing up his technique. The trainers were easy going and very good with the students. We will be coming back for more. Keep up the good work.

My daughter completed the Surf Teens 4 Day course and had a fabulous time. Miles and his coaches are very professional, kind, thoughtful and dedicated to sharing their knowledge of surfing to any age. Love that they put safety first and taught everyone about the dangers of the ocean and how to "read" the surf. There was a variety of ages and skill levels, and each coach shared their time evenly amongst everyone participating. Highly recommend Miles and his team. We will definitely be booking more lessons.
