Join 3 days of riding awesome waves at Byron Bay! Learn how to surf, upgrade your techniques and catch waves like a pro! Our coaches only select the best beaches before every lesson. What if you don't manage to stand up? No problem! If you don't stand up on your first lesson, you can come again for free!
3 days of fun on your surfboard
In this 3-day course, we will not only teach you the basics of surfing, but also some basic tricks. Day 1 will be all about catching, standing and surfing. You can then improve your skills on day 2. Learn how to paddle correctly, control your board and distribute your weight in order to change direction. On the final day, you can step up your game even more. You will practise tricks like the pop-up, back riding and turning frontside and backside on unbroken waves. We will also teach you the importance of wave selection, timing, surf safety, ocean awareness and surf etiquette.
Small groups to offer the best support
Your safety and fun are the number one priority. Each group will have 1 coach per 7 participants. You will get the personal attention you need to stand up and start surfing the waves in no time.
Strict safety and quality standards (ASI approved)
Blackdog Surf School is ASI approved. The experienced coaches are also certified lifeguards. They all hold a Senior 1st Aid Certificate and a Level 1 Surfing Coach Accreditation. All safety and quality standards are met during each lesson.
Action pics (at additional cost)
We won't let you go home without the chance to take your surfing memories with you. A professional photographer will take action shots of you. After the lessons, you can view and purchase the pictures in the Blackdog shop.

The waves are considered world-class and make the Pass one of Australia's top surf beaches. The Fisherman’s Lookout is a wooden structure with a platform at the top. From the platform, you can admire the crowds of surfers, fish, dolphins, and sometimes whales. Tallow Beach stretches out south, 6.5 km from Cosy Corner to Broken Head.
