Surf Camp was SICK

From the day we got there, the vibe around camp was just buzzing. The instructors were having just as much fun as we were.
The food was incredible and there was SO much of it!!!! No one ever went hungry and there was fresh fruit always available as well as hot beverages.
Surfing was so much fun; they got straight to the point, straight in the water and went to extra lengths to get you standing. Made such a difference to morale and eased the frustration!!!
Absolutely loved everyone there and could not recommend it more.
Can't wait to go back!

What would you improve about this program?
Provide alcohol instead of making us poor tired surfers walk up the MASSIVE hill!!!!

Surf camp 5 days

I loved to be at surfcamp. The staff were very friendly and fun. I learned to surf in a few days and they made it so fun so i've bought my own board and going to surf the whole eastcoast. The teachers were very proffessional and took time with all the visitors that needed extra help. And they got the real shaneo there!

What would you improve about this program?
A little more food

Best experience ever!!

The surf camp was so awesome and the staff there is very professional and surporting. It has definitely been the best week in Australia. I met so many nice and cool people and got to travel further with them on roadtrips, love the social atmosphere and team spirit. Really, go there!!

Great camp, great people, great experience

When I went to surf camp I really enjoyed the instructor's enthusiasm to teach us how to surf. They wanted everyone to stand up on their own and ride out a great wave. They filmed everything with the Go Pro and went all out to get great pics. Instructors worked together to get a student standing on the board while another instructor surfed alongside to get a great action shot. They got a face full of water, but loved it. I appreciate that I was able to save this memory and share it with others back home. The video made of the weekend at the end was also a great memory to keep to share with family and friends as it really encompasses the fabulous weekend. I like that the photos and videos were included in the program cost because I don't like to pay extra for those things. The free shirt and hat are both nice keepsakes as well :)

What would you improve about this program?
I feel that the program was VERY sponsored by Rip Curl. They pushed the brand very hard and it was very obvious. It was a bit unnecessary at times. I liked the wetsuits and boards and can ask about the brand if I want to, but I don't need it pushed on me.

Surf Camp Australia - Guarantee of a great weekend

I went to the Surf Camp expecting just a few lessons in a board. But what I've founded was a great and complete experience.

In those three days I learned how to surf and meet great people. I've also a chance to party at night.

The program is perfect because you have the better qualities of a exchange travel: people, adventures and party.

What would you improve about this program?
Maybe, would be better if we had a person responsible just for the pictures. We have photos, but they're taking by the instructors, so they are not that good.

Surf camp 2014 experience

I really enjoyed my entire experience I had during surf camp. I am from over seas and have never gotten the chance to try out surfing but have always wanted to. This weekend I was able to accomplish my desire to learn how to surf and I also had the opportunity to meet new people and share the experience with them along the way.

What would you improve about this program?
If there was something that needed to be changed I would recommend that they offer a vegetarian dish or substitute for the meals involving meat. Also, having water on the beach would have been good.

Surf camp australia experience

I really enjoyed surf camp australia and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an exciting adventure while in oz. The instructors all know there stuff and are really friendly and fun. The food was great and overall feeling when being there was you were all a tight friendly group. All staff and instructors helped out with any problems and issues. I was standing up on the surf board after my second lesson and am now hooked to surfing. Recommend to everyone.

You will want to go back again and again!

I can't mention Surf Camp Australia without being totally excited about it! First time I`ve been there was one of my best weekends in Australia, I was imediately caught by the surf bug! 7 mile beach indeed is a great place to learn how to surf, only a couple of hours south from Sydney. I went with some mates, but we met many new people there, which became very close friends! The food is great, the surfboards and the wetsuits as well, as much as the accomodation!! The camp has the BEST atmosphere. The surf lessons are awesome, and you won`t get out from there without knowing how to stand up and having so much fun! You gotta go to understand what I`m talking about, everyone loves it!

What would you improve about this program?
I wish I could have stayed longer!!
