Having never surfed before, I started my 1 month academy in november. I arrived by myself and felt at home straight away. Staying in the academy house with the other academy students for me meant a lot of surfs as often and whenever I wanted, a lot of fun nights and new friends for life! The food was great and staff is super friendly and enthusiastic. The surfinstructors really look at what you’re doing and help you improve wave after wave.
Overall, great vibes and a good time, so I decided to come back for 2 more months!

I did 1 month of the academy cadet program and I absolutely loved it! I ended up staying another two months just because of the surf, the place and how the people made me feel. I worked in the photo team which allowed me to spend a lot of time on the beach. The people in photo team and the staff at Spot X in general are always very open and welcoming and till this day they are some of my very best friends. I am definitely coming back later this year so I can improve my surfing even further. I would recommend everybody who loves to surf and meet new people to go to Spot X for at least a month of academy, because you’ll have the time of your life!

I did the 1 month academy and I loved it! The academy group really feels like a little family. I improved my surfing a lot, you have your academy lessons every day of the week when the conditions are the best. There is also surf theory classes and fitness 2 times a week. On friday they show the videos that have been taken and you analyse your surfing with the whole group, which is super useful! Theres also always nice and funny pictures so the video analysis is always one of the favourite parts of the week. I really came here to improve my surfing but next to the surfing the vibes are so good! The camp was my favourite part of travelling in australia so I extended for 2 weeks before going home. I probably will come back soon again!!!

The surf academy camp was awesome, we learnt loads and had a blast. All depends on your commitment, but regardless of progression, you’re going to have fun for sure.
Yeeeeww!!!

Great instructors, a lot of good tips and individual attention whenever you need it. Stayed in our own academy house with a big group of people, good times! Parties every week, really liked the open mic nights as well. Will be back for sure!

Stayed for a month, came with a friend! This was my favourite month in Australia! Really cool people in academy and overall in the camp as well! The surfing is great, really enjoyed the lessons every morning, always went surfing with most of the academy people in the afternoon and weekends as well! At night you can just hang out around the campfire or do the activities! I progressed my surfing a lot in 1 month and I made great friends for life!

Came here while travelling with my friend Hanna! I had surfed a few times before but after the academy i feel like i progressed a lot. I really liked the surflessons each morning because theres no one else in the water and the conditions are always the best then. The instructors talk about the conditions and then there is some theory about the ocean or manoeuvres that you focus on that day. Everything together makes you feel more comfortable in the water and improved my surfing a lot. I loved the people in academy, it felt like a little family! One day I will come back:)

I was a little hesitant to sign up for a full month since I’ve never surfed before, but I ended up loving it. I wish I could have stayed longer! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and I learned so much from the surfing instructors in my short time there. I’ll definetly be back!
