Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My family from Finland visited me and they had a go at surfing for the first time in their lives. To set the scene it’s important to understand that Finland does not have waves like Australia due to its location and vast archipelago.

It is obvious that Mike loves teaching and sharing his love for surfing and the ocean. He was brilliant in his instructions and how well he cared for everyone. There were 5 Finns and 2 others and Mike and his assistant instructor ensured that everyone was well looked after and above all safe at all times. Mike instinctively knows who needs more of his attention and follows through.

My family loved it so much that we went back for another session a week later. Out of 11 days in Albany we spent two with Mike at Ocean Beach!!

Thanks Mike, you’ve given us all experiences we will never forget!

My friend and I have always wanted to learn to surf and Mike was recommended to us. He do not disappoint! He broke it down for us and made sure we'd mastered (or at least close enough-haha) each step before going into the next. It was a super busy day and he cleared a spot for us so we didn't hit anyone or get hit ourselves. So encouraging and belly laugh funny. Definitely recommend.

3 day surf lessons were fantastic. Mike (what a legend) is a personality! He is patient with teaching (especially kids) and explains everything so its easy to understand. There is a good mix of ‘info’ on the beach and ‘practical’ in the water.
All the instructors are friendly and super helpful. This is a must do in Denmark (or if you staying in Albany etc.) especially/even if you don’t have much skill in the surf. Mike goes through great techniques in the surf, how to read the surf/conditions and selecting equipment among other things.
Highly recommend! Thanks Mike & crew.

Mike is a great guy and couldn’t have been more friendly for a board rental for my son and I. He epitomizes the good vibes of a surf rental place. The fact it is at a gorgeous beach on the southern ocean just makes it that much better. Mike not only rented us boards but gave some really useful tips as well. The next time I’m at the I’m at the end of the earth I will come see Mike!

Mike is super friendly, great with kids and full of enthusiasm. We had the best time learning from him and would go back in a flash.

Mike was a great coach for a solo lesson with my son (Andrew).

He took him through many of the basics of surfing (reading the waves and rips, knowing the location and landmarks etc.) before checking some of his existing skills and making suggestions how he could improve them.

Once in the water Mike reinforced many of the theories he'd discussed on the beach all the while making sure Andrew had great fun.

This 2-hour lesson actually over-ran because Mike wanted to make sure Andrew was more confident in some of the new skills he'd been taught.

Highly recommended...we will definitely be booking up for another lesson the next time we're down in the Denmark region.

Thanks again Mike!

If you are after a really good surfing lesson at a great spot then I recommend coming to Denmark and hang out with Mike from South Coast Surfing. He is passionate, patient and fun.

We went there with our three kids. He organised an extra coach (his daughter, who is phenomenal with little ones!) for our 6 year old so to free me up to have some lessons as well and to keep her safe in the ocean.

I didn’t grow up surfing but I have always wanted to learn to surf. So I can’t teach my kids myself who were desperate to learn.

My dream came true. Mike tought us beyond what I imagined we would learn in a three day beginner course. A good balance between theory, practical exercises and a lot of time on the water catching waves. He has a good eye on spotting areas to improve and knows how to explain well how to advance. I never felt rushed or out of my comfort zone. My kids loved it and have gained so much more water awareness and confidence.

So in summary- Mike is a great coach for kids and adulte with lots of fun with ocean safety in the centre the lessons.

In addition, Ocean beach at Denmark is a great spot to learn.

Surfing in Denmark with Mike is a wonderful experience. He is a fantastic instructor who enjoys teaching, has a huge amount of knowledge and an equally huge sense of humour. We are returning year after year from Singapore and it is great fum for the whole family. Looking forward to our next visit!!

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
