“There are few times in our city lives that we get to experience something as awesome as this. These guys are friendly and helpful, and I highly recommend them. My son was in his element in the water, having doubts about whether he would enjoy it or not. He definitely did! The guys took extra care to ensure he could thoroughly enjoy it!.”

“Fantastic. The guys at Ballito Surf School really enjoy introducing kids to surfing. My 9-year-old son loved it. After 5 minutes of coaching on the beach, he was into the waves with coach Liam. Great experience. Ridiculously good value for money.”
- Daniel Bodewig
“The best place to learn how to surf. I was on holiday from Joburg, never surfed before and they had me up and standing within two lessons. The surf instructors were really cool guys and were more than happy to help.”
- Finlay Jonah
“Had such a great time surfing with these guys on my holiday! Even caught my first real waves at the back. Highly recommended.”
- Megan Marr
“I cannot recommend Janek & his team enough. My son Hayden has had a few lessons with them now and he absolutely loves it and can’t get enough. We booked Hayden’s Birthday Party & every child and parent was blown away. Bring on the holidays for more surfing fun!”
