Meet Let’s Go Surfing at 128 Ramsgate Avenue for a two-hour Bondi Beach lesson limited to five people. You’ll learn beach safety, board technique, and wave timing from English-speaking instructors such as Matt, Luke, Marcus, or Brontë. Soft boards, wetsuits, rash vests, and sunscreen are supplied.

“Would recommend this 100x over. Our instructor Dan was fantastic! He gave us a very good safety briefing and they let us have a go at surfing. Our group was also small which I enjoyed. I would recommend booking earlier time slots as the beach did start to get crowded towards the end of our lesson.”
