About our Byron Bay surf lessons

Learn to Surf With Mojosurf

Byron Bay surfing lessons: what to expect

Our surfing lessons start in Byron Bay. We pick you up in town and drive you to the beach with the best learning waves for the day, somewhere between Lennox Head and Ballina. Each lesson runs for 3–4 hours including return travel, with 1 coach to 8 surfers, so you get plenty of attention in a small group.

If you’re an intermediate surfer planning to bring your own board, it’s important to note that group lessons do not allow participants to bring their own hard boards. In such cases, opt for a private lesson, this way, you can bring your own board and receive personalised instruction tailored to your skill level and needs. Please contact us directly for information on private lessons.

Private Lessons are also available for up to 2 people per lesson. Contact Mojosurf for more information. Please note, anyone under the age of 15 must be booked into a private lesson.

If you are an intermediate surfer and want to bring your own hardboard, we can accommodate you at Spot X, 2 hours south of Byron Bay. Please contact before booking to check availability.

PLEASE NOTE: If you want to book a surf lesson in Byron Bay or a Surf & Stay package less than 24 hours in advance, please contact us on [email protected] or call us on +61 (2) 6639 5100 to make your booking.

    AM or PM

    We will pick you up in the morning or afternoon (depending on what you booked your lesson) from one of a number of locations around Byron Bay and whisk you away to where the waves are best for learning to surf!

    Depending on the conditions, we can pick from plenty of beaches around Lennox Head and Ballina to ensure you get the best possible learn to surf experience on uncrowded waves.

    Once we get there, we’ll get you suited up with a surfboard, rashie and a wetsuit if needed. After a quick stretch and beach lesson, we’ll hit the water for some Mojosurf surf school action!

    If you booked a progressive lesson, repeat this for another 1, 2, 3 or 4 days while improving your surfing skills.
