Not just a surf school but a surf tour, Kool Katz takes you on a fun-filled 20-minute scenic coastal ride to the pristine sands of Seven Mile Beach at Lennox Head – or to Shaws Bay in Ballina to which it holds exclusive rights. Experience the vast indigenous and migratory bird life attracted by the surrounding wetlands, surf with the dolphins and watch the whales.
Kool Katz runs 4-hour group lessons twice daily all year round and caters for beginners to intermediate levels. Their prices are among the industry’s best and include free pick up from Byron Bay or Lennox Head; use of safe, soft surfboard, wetsuit or rash vest; and free food, drink and internet vouchers.
Private lessons, corporate bookings and kids 6-Up are catered for. Kool Katz is a leader in the use of confidence and esteem-building techniques as part of its successful teaching method.
