We just rented a board for a few days, but we got such a good impression of this surf school. The board we got, was a pretty nice NSP board, which is just the right one for people, who are just one step above absolute beginners. The board also had a „Go Pro“ mount, which was so great, as we... More

the only thing thay are cerful about is safety the staff is terrble

My partner went with this company, which was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and he learned a lot during the lesson. There were only 4 other people in the lesson, so it was easy to access the instructor. There are only 4 surf schools in Byron Bay which have a licence to operate a suf school and this is... More

As a solo traveler on a shoe string budget, Black Dogs was one of the most reasonably priced surf schools in Byron Bay (of which there were many). We started out by driving to a quiet bit of beach were we learned a couple of surf board moves on the sand before being let loose in the water. Our instructor... More

I took an introductory surf lesson to celebrate my birthday while in Byron Bay. I wanted to do something memorable and fun - and Black Dog Surf School delivered! I even caught a couple of waves, and bought the photos to prove it (a great memento, although it costs extra). Even though I was initially apprehensive about learning to surf... More

Thought this was going to be rubbish after getting a class of 12 people and the scatty reception lady (nut job!) but the instructors were fantastic- technical, patient, friendly- they had 2 little kids aged about 10 up and surfing in 20 minutes - Once they accepted I had some experience they showed me some more advanced techniques and let...

I booked a surf lesson for my partner - Black Dog were really helpful in booking this, sorting out the gift voucher and timing and collected us on the day. My partner really got a lot out of the lesson and it was the highlight of our trip to Byron.
