270+ surfers. 4.9 stars. One mile of beach.

"My plan was to try one surf lesson, then continue up the coast. BUT! I met the team, stood up on my first wave and stayed for a week and did lessons every day. One of the best experiences I've ever had — I'd live there and surf with the team every day if I could!"

"Wayne and Ash were great instructors who made sure every single person in the group had a good time and some success. Perfect day!"

"Me and three kids (13, 11, 8) all had a great time learning to surf. Troy and Logan were super patient and made sure we all got up on our feet. Great safety briefing beforehand."

"My very first experience on a surfboard and Josh was simply the best instructor I could ask for. Step by step I was able to surf all the way to the shore. Thank you for making a German girl really happy!"

"Check in was easy, the instructors were friendly and helpful from the start. I was amazed at how much I progressed in just 2 days."

"Diligent in teaching surf safety and fundamentals with encouragement. All 4 of my kids have attended over the years and all 4 were up and away after a single lesson. Highly recommend."

"My 2 boys (13 & 10) did 5 sessions. To say they loved it would be an understatement. Well run, friendly team & loads of engagement."

"At 51 I always wanted to try surfing. Troy was clear, fun and made sure the session was enjoyable. I was able to stand up after a few attempts. 5 stars all the way."

"In no time we were up and catching waves. Loved it so much we came back for the afternoon session too. Perfect for every age and skill level."

"Above and beyond what we expected. Both our daughters were up and surfing straight away even though the surf wasn't perfect. Beautiful location too!"

"Two small boys 5 and 7 and I couldn't be happier with the lessons. Both loved it and will definitely be back. All the coaches are excellent."

"The 3 day school hols program was brilliant! All the coaches have been amazing and kids had an absolute blast!"

"Over the summer my son had 3 private lessons with 3 different instructors — all outstanding. They made him feel special and helped him gain confidence. Highly recommend for all levels."

"Our son loves it and it's so great to see his progress. The team at Port Stephens Surf School have been incredibly supportive."

"Teachers were really friendly and made sure all the kids were given lots of time each with them. Kids loved it, thank you!"

"Troy was so patient with Halle. She had the most amazing time and can not wait to get back out and practice."

"We were a group of 14 (kids and adults) — majority beginners. Luke and team were fantastic. From the moment we got to the beach, everyone's mood turned around. Everyone had a great time."

"Fantastic experience for our school group — safe, engaging and organised from start to finish. Kids came off the beach glowing."

"We always have a great time with PS Surf School — we've done lessons 4 times now and will be back for more. All the instructors and office staff are friendly."
