Top school - Had 2 days of surfing lessons from Dylan. We thought Dylan was great. Very fun to do. Very well located on the beach. Showers and toilet within walking distance. And sunscreen available. They also pay close attention to your belongings. Recommended. Good luck in Norway Dylan.

Highly recommended! Amazing experience! - Had an amazing surf lesson with the instructor Dylan! He was excellent, boosting my confidence. The people were friendly, and the overall atmosphere, much like the waves, was fantastic. A truly incredible experience, big thanks to the awesome team. Highly recommended!

What a cool first-time experience! - My son (10) did the surfing and he said his instructor was the best and kept encouraging him. He is already asking me when we will be back again.

Awesome, even for beginners. - Andrew and Dillan were fantastic! Knowledgeable, cool headed instructions even or beginners at an intermediate surf location. The location is absolutely prime! You go, grab boards and wetsuits (change in the shack so close to the beach it touches the sand) and your a moments away from paddling out. Went back about half a dozen times in our stay there. Will do again when we come back to Jeffrey's Bay.

Highly recommend - I booked a lesson with Andrew at very short notice but he was happy to accommodate me. It was my first lesson ever and we had a two hour lesson, after which, I was able to confidently stand on the board and ride the waves all the way to the beach. A huge feet that I didn’t think I, being as clumsy as I am, was ever going to be able accomplish after only two hours. Andrew was very patient and extremely supportive the whole time making the times that I washed up like a beached whale on the shore feel like fun instead of a failed attempt.

Great time with Andrew - Staying in JBay, we went surfing twice with Andrew and his crew and had an amazing time. For me it was the second time and for my fiancé the first time: Andrew managed to challenge both of us and took great care. Due to bad weather/waves our second booking was postponed - after trying to get into the wave for an hour - for the afternoon which was a giant gesture. Being honest and wanting us to succeed, Andrew went back with us again in the afternoon and didn’t even charge this. Highly recommend for beginners and advanced surfers!
