FAQs

Is Byron Bay good for beginner surfers?

Absolutely. The Byron Bay region has a variety of beach breaks ideal for learning, with warm water year-round and a relaxed ocean culture. Our coaches know exactly which spots are best for first-timers.

Do I need any surfing experience?

Not at all. Our Byron Bay retreat is designed specifically for complete beginners and women returning to surfing. All equipment is provided, and our coaches work with you at your own pace.

What makes Club Shakas different?

We've taken over the entire Wybalena Organic Farm exclusively for our group — the sauna, magnesium pool, firepit, chef's kitchen. Combined with small group coaching and professional video analysis, it's a different experience entirely.

What's included in the price?

Everything except flights, alcohol and transport. That means luxury accommodation, 3 surf lessons with video analysis, all chef-prepared meals, yoga, sound healing, and recovery facilities. From $2,550 AUD with a $500 deposit.
