Great lessons. Geordie(sp?) was an awesome instructor and was patient and supportive. He gave us some good tips and was good at rotating his attention and assistance. The staff didn’t rush us even though we were a little late getting there(sorry!) and also didn’t hold back on the rest of the group. They had one instructor wait behind for us then the others started with their stretches and pre-lesson info. I’ve taken a few surf lessons before and this was the best in regards to attention and assistance in the water, esp for a group lesson. To note also, the gear they have was in good condition too, which is a big plus in my book.

Staff are super cool. Hired a board for 2 hours and it was a really straightforward process. They take a credit card or passport as a form of deposit in return for the board. Board rental was $ 25 for 2 hours and $ 40 for the day which was pretty fair. You could also hire wetsuits too I think for about $ 15 for 2 hours although I am not 100% certain as I had my own. Boards themselves were in excellent condition, no dings, well maintained so I could catch the waves Bondi beach had to offer. They are literally on the beach too so walking to and from there was extremely easy. 5 star service.

Let’s be honest. Aussies don’t go to surfing school to learn how to surf. I’m strongly convinced that every single Aussie was born knowing how to surf already(and the dogs too, have you seen those YouTube videos??). This is more for backpackers or travelers, and I was one of them. I signed up for an one-day learning class. I really enjoyed it because the instructor was not only teaching you how to surf, but everything around surf. The breaks, the rips, the leash, i.e. everything that you need to know before it potentially kills you. The waves on Bondi that day were miserable(see picture), but it was hard enough for a guy who paddled against the current for the very first time. Instructor spent a good amount of time care taking every individuals, so at least I had learned and memorized the right skills. Could have been a five star, but the foam boards provided were more for safety than anything. Actual surf board, mini mal or whatnot, is a different beast. So while the lesson gave you the false illusion of actually knowing how to surf(again, see the picture), I practically had to start from all over again and failed another hundred times on my own board to start getting the basics. Or I’m just not very talented. Yeah I guess I’ll have to go for that reason…

The good news: $ 30 gets you a board and wetsuit for 2 hours. The bad news: You’ll then have to walk the nearly 25 paces to the water and convince yourself that you do, in fact, want to go surfing. The best news: If you need a bit more hands-on encouragement, you can sign up for lessons ranging from 2-hours($ 99 with all equipment included) to 3-week packages. Or hell, you can screw surfing completely and rent a paddle board, boogie board or just the wetsuit for showing off your moves like Jagger as you saunter down Campbell Pde.(No shame jazzy wetsuit man, no shame.) My one request — pop that possessive apostrophe in there for all that is grammatically good and holy.

Here is a place in Bondi which makes you feel at home, whether you’re a beginner, or a seasoned professional surfer. The shop has something to offer everyone, so if you’re after some lessons to impress your girlfriend on your next trip to Hawaii, or a gift voucher to get your little cousin who’s scared of the water, a kick up the bum to give it a try. Let’s go Surfing has turned into a bit of a franchise, with some further stores opening up the coast. This is the original, much like many good things that start off in Bondi Beach — Speedo’s(questionable) Nando’s chicken, & Boost Juice. The lessons are built for all ages, and takes you through the set-up, the technique, and a bit of water safety, then a go in the surf. You’ll always have the instructors close by, so if you’re not the most confident person, there’s always someone to lend a hand. Think of them as Surfers little helpers. Lastly, everyone’s going to ask you whether you went surfing at Bondi(if you’re a traveller) so, ask one of the friendly instructors to take a photo of you — proof is important!

You’re on Bondi, there are surfers everywhere — you want to be part of the action but somethings stopping you… but what is it? 1– Too scared 2– Never surfed before 3– Surfed ages ago 4– Think you’re too old/young 5– Worried you’re going to be too awesome you’ll scare off people 6 — You can surf but don’t have a board or suit… Well aren’t you in luck… Let’s Go Surfing provides solutions to all of the above… whether you’re an absolute beginner or just need to rent a board, you can stop by this cruisy store and get what you need… Now, if you’re a beginner like me and you’re umming and ahhing… let me just say«do it»… It’s really fun and who cares if you can stand or not — when people ask you what you did today you can say«oh, i was surfing at Bondi». The instructors are all surfers who think they have the coolest job in the world… and their passion is very clear… Definitely give it a go… Board and Wetsuit hire starts at $ 25 an hour and lessons start at $ 95 for 2 hours and includes everything you need… yes, its a little expensive but I think worth it…
