MY REVIEW
From the moment I arrived in Byron Bay, I felt the magnetic pull of the ocean waves, beckoning me to attempt the surfer's journey. Enrolling in the 5 Day Amped Surf Tour with Soul Surf School was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have tried surfing on my own before, and while it went ok, learning from professionals goes much quicker and much more enjoyable.
The instructors, have an infectious passion for the sport, and made each lesson engaging and insightful. They took the time to break down each technique, ensuring that we not only learned the moves but truly understood the essence behind them. From perfecting my pop-up to mastering the art of the S-turn, every day was a new adventure, a new challenge to overcome.
It was a game-changer, teaching me how to position myself on the board and anticipate the wave's movement. The feeling of spinning my board and catching a wave, riding it with newfound confidence, was exhilarating.
But it wasn't just about the techniques. The instructors emphasized the importance of understanding the ocean, respecting its power, and the unspoken rules of surfing etiquette. This holistic approach made me feel not just like a student, but a part of the larger surfing community.
By the end of the tour, as I stood on the shores of Byron Bay, board in hand, looking out at the vast expanse of the ocean, I felt a sense of accomplishment. The 5 Day Amped Surf Tour wasn't just a series of lessons; it was a transformative journey, one that instilled in me a profound respect for the sport and the ocean's timeless beauty. I left Byron Bay not just as a tourist, but as a surfer, with memories and skills that will last a lifetime.
