Best Surf Lesson in Bryon - 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! - 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!

Felt like family! - 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.

Broken ankle - Told by instructor it was a sprain and made to wait until lesson had ended and walk on it - I had my first surf lesson with the Black Dog company a few years ago now, in Bryon Bay. However, I’m still struggling with the repercussions of that lesson and the damage it caused. During the lesson I landed on a sandbank and rolled my ankle. I was in agony and I had to crawl out of the water on my own. When someone eventually came to me I was told it was “too swollen” to be broken, and I was left lying on the beach in my wetsuit until they finished their lessons then made to try and walk back to the van. I was then dropped at my hostel in my wetsuit and left alone with no incident report or follow up. I had to get the wetsuit off myself and take myself to the hospital where I was told it was fractured in 2 places and I’d have to have metal plates and pins fitted. It ruined my trip to Australia and I still struggle now with my ankle. There was no follow up, no incident report and not even an offer of a refund for my lesson.
