About Us:

Gaz & V have owned & operated our surf school in Byron Bay since 1999.

We have been surfing here in Byron Bay & the Far North Coast of New South Wales since the 1970s. Teaching in Byron Bay since the 1980s.

Gaz is an ASI Level 3 Surfing Coach and have been surf coaching for more than 30 years.

We pride ourselves on being Byron Bays’ Most Experienced Surf School operators where the owners are at the beach each day checking the surfing conditions for the classes and running lessons.

We have been involved in the local surfing scene with the local board-riding clubs & surf life saving clubs, sponsoring, organizing local surfing events & fund raisers for many years.

Gaz worked in the Maddog Surf Centres in Byron Bay which was a surfboard factory in the Industrial Estate as well as retail surf shops in town during the 1980s & 1990s.

Selling the right surfboard to suit the surfers ability was my specialty..

Also selling all types of surfing products locally, nationally & internationally whilst working alongside my brother John and working with local surfboard shapers & manufacturers. 

Maddog has now retired and goes surfing & fishing everyday. Maddog Surfboards

FALSE ADVERTISING with Byron Bay Surfing Lessons? 

Byron Bay has many Surf Schools so do your homework.

There are only a few Surf Schools that use only the waves in Byron Bay 100%. Then we have other schools that advertise Byron Bay for their Group lessons but they can’t teach surfing in the waves in Byron Bay as they do not have a Byron Bay Licence for Group Lessons.

They cannot provide what they are selling?

There are only 4 Licences available in Byron Bay for Surf Schools and are given to the Best Operators.

Other beaches on the north coast are amazing with some of the best waves in the world but do not have the safe beginner waves of Clarkes Beach in Byron Bay.

My mates from these beaches all bring their own kids to Clarkes Beach in Byron Bay for them to get the best waves for learning to surf.

I have a Daily Byron Bay Surf Report & I know where the Best Learning Waves are every day.

Style Surf is Licenced with Byron Shire Council, Cape Byron National Parks and the Byron Bay Marine Park.

We also have free photos taken with you on the Sand.

It’s always “Happy Days”

We have lessons at 9 am & 1 pm Daily.

We don’t have a ‘BOOK NOW BUTTON’

We offer a “full refund” if the surf is not safe for you.

Just Pay On The Day so there is “No Problem at All” if the lesson is cancelled due to dangerous surf conditions.

AIR B&B & TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS..

“Had a great intro with Gaz and team and went through all the surf principles, unfortunately the swell got too big and was cancelled. Gaz was very accommodating and happily gave everyone their cash back. Very good that they look after people’s safety first and not cash hungry like some of the other ‘surf schools’.”

Best Surfing lessons ever…..

I recently had 3 consecutive days of surf lessons with David and had the best time! At the end of day one, I could confidently stand and surf the wave, at the end of day three, I am now confident to go out surfing on my own with no issues. David came and picked me up from my accomodation in Byron each day and dropped me home – super convenient! They also provided all equipment including wetsuit, rash vest and surfboard. Gaz and David are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet with a wealth of surfing knowledge and really easy personalised instructions to make you the best surfer you can be. We surfed right in the heart of Byron Bay and only small groups each day, meaning the instructors had plenty of time to spend with you one-on-one. Thank again guys!! Emma C.

“Best Surf Lessons in Byron Bay”

 

“Our surf lesson with Surf Style was fantastic, we all had a lot of fun. Unfortunately on the day there wasn’t a great deal of surf, but we got out there and made the most of it anyway. Gaz and Travis were great, especially with my kids. There were a lot of Dad jokes flying around, which resulted in a lot of eye rolling and screwed up faces from my kids, which was hilarious. I also learnt a lot of little tips that made learning to surf a lot more sensible, and actually enabled me to stand up on a board for the first time. I would not hesitate recommending Surf Style if you want something a little different, more relaxed, and not so commercial. Gaz and his team make learning to surf a whole lot of fun and they really do care about your surfing more than you do.” Liza…
 
I COULDN’T RECOMMEND GAZ MORE HIGHLY !
Gaz and V go above and beyond for their clients, they were extremely accommodating for our family with young children. Gaz will have you surfing he is a fantastic teacher! He pays attention to all his students, gives individual advice,even helps you catch the wave(pushes you on), picks you up and drops you back from your accommodation ……Gaz and V make it too eeeeasy! After struggling to surf for years three lessons with Gaz and I can now surf along the face of the wave and I am hooked!!! These surf lessons have changed my life….Thank you Gaz you’re a LEGEND!

“Best surf instructor there is!”

 
Gaz is the best surf instructor I’ve ever encountered! I’d just completed a 10 day surf camp but I learnt more in one session with Gaz than I had during those 10 days! He taught me completely new techniques that had me surfing better than ever! He is an excellent teacher, who really knows what he’s doing. He’s patient, kind, funny, and made the experience so enjoyable! Everyone in our group was standing and surfing pretty quickly! He can have you surfing green waves and jumping to your feet in one session! And Gaz has great communication skills so he’s perfect even if English isn’t your first language. He’s a local who knows the best spots to surf at and he genuinely cares about teaching you properly, whether you have one lesson or ten! If you want to surf, this is the guy you need! I honestly wish I’d taken more lessons with him! He even takes pictures and sends them to you for free! He picks you up and drops you back off where you’re staying, and he even drove us up to see the lighthouse where we spotted a whale! Couldn’t recommend this more!

“Surfing at its best”

My son and I had a surf trip booked and we left it up to the amazing Gaz, what he doesn’t know about Byron and the waves is not worth knowing.
He is patient, informative and cares about you having the best experience doing something he obviously loves.
He had both of us up and surfing catering for our different abilities with subtly and professionalism. I will always have these memories to share with my son, thank you.

“Gaz is a stella guy”

 
Not sure on his teaching skills but Gaz seems like a real stand out guy. He found my wallet at an airport, with around $900 in it, tracked me down by phone, and went out of his way to give it back to me. I offered him a reward but he would not take it. Helped restore my faith in humans.

 “Raining and Ripping”

Had a great experience with Gaz! No BS kind of guy and tells it like it is. Definitely worth every penny and the time. You will have loads of fun with him. Super accommodating and will have you surfing in no time! Too bad there isn’t a 6th star option. He’d get mine!

“Thank you Gaz for entertaining, safe surf lessons and sharing your life passion of surfing”

Gaz stopped us on the beach with some free surf advice for our daughter who has a prosthetic leg. She joined his class the next day, Gaz changed her surf style and she had a blast surfing with him and the team. I (Mum) joined in the next day with Gaz and the team as our daughter had such an amazing time and had a great time myself!! Thank you Gaz for everything you did for our daughter as she had such a wonderful time and is now hooked 🙂 You taught us more than just how to be pushed on to waves, so we learned about surfing as a whole and not just about standing up. See you next time!

 “Life changing morning!”

5 of 5 starsAfter being extremely reluctant to sign up to do a surf lesson as a very unconfident swimmer and someone who doesn’t like water I can say it was one of the best things I have ever done. It was absolutely the best decision to go with Gaz at Style Surfing. He was absolutely incredible! He devoted his time to me 1 on 1, taking my out further and teaching me techniques and to be more confident. He is so knowledgeable and was so patient with me. He got everybody up on the waves and feeling good. I was actually really inspired by Gaz and am so grateful. We had random people on the beach interrupt our session to just say how great he was and that he taught them to surf and he is the best. He turned me from someone who would have never considered surfing into someone who wants to do it again. Would highly recommend!

 

“Absolutely amazing ”

Going with Style Surfing was definitely the best decision! Gaz is an amazing surf instructor..probably the best you can get!!! He absolutely loves surfing and made this passion his profession. He grew up in Byron Bay, knows where to find the best waves and how to get you standing up on your first lesson. He’s also great fun and gets you motivated from the very beginning. He even helped me and my boyfriend to fix up the second-hand surfboards we had bought..legend!!!
Too bad we had to leave the next day, otherwise we would have loved to take more lessons.
