Lets Go Surfing, Bondi

Rented a surfboard through these guys recently. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Gave me some good pointers since I am still a beginner on how to stay safe and the best time to surf. Really reasonable prices to rent and they were also happy for me to store my bag there while I hit the waves. Was going to go to another surf rent shop but they were shut and these guys were great and will definitely be returning next time I am in Bondi!

I had a blast during the ‘Discover Bondi guided beach & coastal walking tour’ with Marty Williams from LETS GO SURFING. Marty Williams is the Coaching Director at Let’s Go Surfing in Bondi and loves working at the beach. He is also one of the most dedicated and funny tour guides ever. During our walk across the beach, Marty shared stories of this iconic Sydney beach community. Did you know that Bondi means the sound of waves breaking on a beach? This is one of the many facts that I learned from Martin. As a member of The Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club, Martin has access to this historic building where I was able to see a large collection of images, trophies, and life-saving equipment from the last 110 years. We visited the Surfcraft storage where Martin even allowed me to wear his yellow and red outfit for a photo. This club is recognized as the oldest surf lifesaving club in the world, established on the 21st of February 1907. It is an Australian icon and holds an indelible position in Australian history. I also decided to challenge myself and try to do some surfing on Bondi Beach. I Joined a group surf lesson fun and safe two-hour beginner session. I was able to learn all the surf basics including paddling, catching waves, and standing. The team provided all the necessary equipment and instructions. So, I squeezed myself into a full-length wetsuit and wet out there in the middle of a cold and rainy day. The waves were so strong. I did not quite anticipate the physical strength it takes to surf. It was a challenge. The experience was phenomenal, I will come back in the summertime for more lessons. Next time you visit Bondi Beach make sure to book a walking tour and a surfing lesson with "Let's Go Surfing" highly recommended!
