Best Surf School ever

Published on Jan, 2025

Simply the best Surf School in Byron. We started coming to Byron in 2006 with four very young children and looked around for instructors to teach them how to surf. We were so fortunate to meet Dean and Tam who run Black Dog Surfing. Our children visit Byron often and have gained so much knowledge from the Black Dog Surf team over the years. No matter how busy the schedule is Dean always finds time to squeeze in lessons for us and our friends with either him or his amazing instructors. We will continue to keep visiting Byron and keep asking Black Dog to take care of our friends and family learning to surf here. Thanks for the decades of amazing surf instruction and great friendships too. Keep up the great work.

Best Surf Lesson in Bryon

Published on Sep, 2024

Had a great experience today with BlackDog surfing. Tam was so friendly and made it super easy to book! Kirsty was an excellent instructor, very patient with us as newbie surfers and we were able to get up on the board. Great time, would recommend!

First time surfing - great experience!

Published on Jun, 2024

Would highly recommend! I had never surfed before, and wanted to give it a try in Byron Bay. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They did a great job explaining the fundamentals and helped me practice the basic movements. Once I was in the water, I quickly gained confidence. I was standing up in no time! I’ll definitely be surfing again in the future. Thanks for a great lesson!

Best surf lesson ever!

Felt like family!

Published on Apr, 2023

Simply amazing! Not just the surf lesson itself, but everything and everyone was so friendly. They remember all names, and after we even got some popcorn. It really felt like coming home again, would almost say it felt like family! Had such a blast and would definitely recommend this surfing school. Thanks Tam & Kirsty for the warm welcome and amazing afternoon.
