About Soul Surf School
Soul Surf School is a locally owned surf school that founder Sean Riley started in Byron Bay in 2009. It works from a shop on Bay Street, across the road from Main Beach. Each morning the coaches pick from more than ten nearby beaches so beginners get small, easy waves in water around waist height. The corporate package is built for work groups of roughly 8 to 40 people visiting town for a conference or work trip, with a two- to four-hour session timed around your agenda. A surf bus collects everyone, boards and wetsuits are supplied, and a surf photographer can be added on request. Corporate sessions run with up to six surfers to every coach. Outside work groups, there are shared lessons for anyone aged 13 and up, multi-day progression packages of two to five days, private coaching and a small-group option for four or more friends or family. Children aged 7 to 12 have their own small-group lessons, every coach holds surf coaching and lifesaving qualifications, and you can send an enquiry to book a corporate day or a group lesson.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can join a corporate surf day?
The corporate package is set up for groups of about 8 to 40 surfers, depending on which beach is used. Lessons run with a maximum of six surfers to each instructor.
How much does a group surf lesson cost?
The corporate package is listed at $85 per surfer. A standard half-day group lesson is $95, with two- to five-day packages from $185 to $410, and private lessons start at $199 for one person.
Is there a minimum age for the lessons?
Shared group lessons are for ages 13 and over. Children aged 7 to 12 have their own kids' group lessons, and children aged 5 to 7 learn in private sessions with a dedicated coach.
What should we bring, and what is supplied?
Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and water. Surfboards, wetsuits and rash vests are supplied, and valuables can be left in lockers at the surf shop rather than taken to the beach.
What happens if the surf conditions are bad?
Lessons go ahead in rain when it is safe. If conditions are unsafe, the school moves the time, beach or date, and offers a refund if no alternative suits.
