Highly recommended surf club A*** - Me & my partner shared our first surf lesson last Thursday with Hannah. We had such an enjoyable session & would highly recommend OA Surf Club to our friends & family. Hannah is a fantastic coach, she made us feel very welcome & at ease to ask any questions we may of had. We both managed to get up on the board, if only for a few seconds. We will definitely join OA surf club in the spring for our next surf lessons. Thank you so much OASC - keep shining bright!

FANTASTIC FUN!!!! - We had a FAB time learning to surf with Lauren!! She was so clear and very patient (especially with me and my injured shoulder/neck!)… I just wish I could have stayed out the full 2hours but at least the kids did and are now HOOKED!! Unfortunate about the lock on the trailer getting stuck so we couldn’t get back into our clothes etc til they fixed it, but they were so kind letting us wait in the nice warm van! Also, glad to see you got a new one when i walked past today!😘😂 thanks for a great time guys!🤩👍🏻🙌🏻

Great surfing lesson - We booked the OA Surf club for accommodation and surfing lessons. The lesson was great, excellently taught by Hannah who had a lot of patience for a group of inflexible middle aged men. We would all highly recommended OA for all your surfing needs.

Fantastic surfing lesson - Fantastic 2 hour surf lesson. Very knowledgeable and experienced instructor. Great surfing conditions for a beginner with a fair bit of watersports experience (I would expect it to be good for other levels too). Would definitely go again.
