About Mojosurf Byron Bay
Mojosurf is one of Australia's most recognised surf school brands, and their Byron Bay operation is the flagship location. Based on the golden sands of Byron's main beach, Mojosurf has been introducing beginners to the art of wave riding for over two decades, building a loyal following among backpackers, families, and travelling surfers alike. Their instructors are all qualified lifeguards and surf coaches who know the local breaks intimately, from the gentle rollers at The Pass to the more powerful sets at Tallows.
Lessons run daily in small groups, typically capped at eight students per instructor to ensure plenty of individual attention in the water. Each session begins with a land-based tutorial covering ocean safety, wave selection, pop-up technique, and surf etiquette before heading into the waves. All equipment — soft-top boards and rash vests — is included, and wetsuits are available for the cooler months. Beyond single lessons, Mojosurf offers multi-day surf camps that combine accommodation, meals, and twice-daily surf sessions for a full immersion experience.
What sets Mojosurf apart in the crowded Byron Bay surf school market is their relaxed, community-driven vibe and the quality of their coaching staff, many of whom are competitive surfers or former professional athletes. The school also runs board rentals for experienced surfers who want to explore the coast independently, with shortboards, longboards, and bodyboards available by the hour or day. For anyone visiting Byron Bay with surfing on their bucket list, Mojosurf is one of the most trusted names in town.
