Learning to surf in Byron Bay & Beyond
"Mojo Surf consistently hold their surf lessons in epic locations without the crazy crowds." - Nicola Cukier
Could not be happier with our experience on the half day tour. We had 5 teenagers who all got up on their boards and caught a few waves each. Wazza was super patient and a great guide for the day. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area.
