The 1/2 day surfing lesson was brilliant I would highly recommend it, we were picked up from our hostel which was wake up in Byron bay, we were taken to the arts hostel where we changed shuttle buses which had the surf boards attached, the staff were very friendly and made everyone feel welcome, we got to the beach which was about a 20 minute drive, we immediately come down to the beach and started on with our surf lesson where we were told about the health and safety as well as practising our surfing technique before actually surfing, once we was in the water we had loads of help and the waves were brilliant! We were surfing for about an hour which was more than enough time, when our lesson finished we went back up to the bus and was taken straight to our hostel which was very helpful, a great day and couldn’t recommend it anymore!
