Bondi Day

 

Enjoy a day at world famous Bondi Beach & spend time doing what the locals do with your own friendly Bondi guide. Get your gear off, get your toes in the sand, hang out at the beach, and enjoy a relaxed & interactive tour inside Australia's oldest Surf lifesaving club learning about surf and beach culture & Bondi's surprising traditions & history.

Then...Lets Go Surfing! Hit the waves with your Pro Bondi surf instructor for a surf lesson or for the less energetic a guided swim between the flags... we'll supply all the gear even sunblock. You provide the energy & laughs. Finally reward all your efforts with a gourmet BBQ seafood lunch or dinner right on Bondi Beach front.

 

Let’s Go Surfing

 

What better place to learn to surf than on world-famous Bondi Beach? Here you’ll find fantastic waves, sunbathing models, year-round sun and the coolest beachside vibe anywhere. And you’ll find Lets Go Surfing (LGS), the friendliest and most professional surf school in Australia.

 

   

 

At LGS, the dedicated, fully-qualified staff can help you catch the wave of your dreams, whether it’s your first time setting foot in the ocean or you’re a surf fanatic looking to ride the big one. Plus, with their complete surf store, they can help you with all the gear you need to get out in the waves, from high-quality boards to wetsuits to a huge range of accessories. If you need it to surf, they’ve got it!

At LGS they teach surfers of all levels, even those afraid of the smallest of waves. From group to private classes, whether you want to simply stand up, hang 10 or imitate your favourite pro surfer.

All classes are run by their male and female coaches who are all fully accredited by Surfing Australia and Surf Life Saving Australia. They will help you learn quickly, while making sure you are as safe and comfortable in the water as possible.

 

   

 

 

The Bondi Surf Experience – Taste Test

 

This popular beginner course teaches you how to safely get out and up onto your first wave. Here you’ll be taught in a small group setting of 6 students or less, so you get plenty of hands-on help. To build up your knowledge and confidence, they first start you out on the beach and teach you how to recognize surf conditions and practice your surfing technique before you get into the water. Then it’s off into the ocean, where you start off in broken waves – the white foam created after the waves run their course. You’ll be amazed at how easy, safe and enjoyable it can be.
