Reviews Australia Surf Course

Donny Barrel

The journey from Sydney to Crescent Head takes about six hours. You’d want to travel comfortably right? Well they really have that covered with the most comfortable transport on wheels I have ever ridden in.

When we pulled up to the beach house we were greeted by the friendly Kim, the head instructor. Now Kim, for me, embodies what I always pictured an Aussie surfer to be like. He has a thick accent, extroverted, laid back, always up for a laugh and most randomly of all the guy uses a gym rope as a belt. The guy is just cool!

We surfed for hours every day and when you are doing this much exercise, nutrition is very important. Ther was a great spread and I can promise you’ll never go hungry. One backpacker, affectionately known as “allergic to everything girl” was still catered for. I thought I was a fussy eater.

So is this tour for you? If you want to learn to surf, definitely. If you want to have lots of fun outside lessons too, hell yes. If you want to surf hard and party harder this is the right choice for you. The general age ranged from 18 – 25. As it’s a large and busy camp it suits more of the extroverted personality rather than a wall flower. Although if you do a 1 or 2 month course you are part of a groups anyway. One other thing worthy of note is that the camp seems to attract beautiful Scandinavian people. Just saying.

Doing the surf academy has been an amazing experience. The coaches really helped me to progress my surfing. You get to surf in a variety of beaches and learn about surfing in all different conditions. The whole team is so enthusiastic and encouraging, that it is impossible not to have a good time. If you are looking for an awesome experience in great waves with top class coaches then this surf academy is the way forward. Yeahhh!

Eleisha Gettings, 2 month surf development course

the surf academy has been brilliant. the coaches are really knowledgeable and real pro´s, especially Linton and Rob.Linton has been our main instructor and really helped me improve at a fast rate. He has taken us to several different surf spots which are in close proximity to the surf camp which is awesome. Rob has organized our fitness training and I feel my fitness level improved quickly. They both are very enthusiastic which helps greatly to motivate. The atmosphere between the rest of the people doing the surf course is really good too. And everyone at the surf camp is really friendly and always there when I need anything. These 2 months have been the best!
