Adult Beginner Surf Courses

*** This is a weekly Course ***


Come join us for 2 hours each day over 4 weekends.


Courses will take place either every Saturday or every Sunday. When you are on the booking calendar the start day and date will inform you of the day for that month. For example; you are looking to book onto a course and the booking calendar shows that on the month you have selected the start day for the first session is on a Saturday. This means that the following 3 sessions will also be held on a Saturday.


Please also be aware the times for each session will change to take into account the tide times. This will be shared with the group at the end of each session.


Ages are for 16 up to 70.


All Equipment is provided including a wetsuit and surfboard


What's covered

  1. Introduction to the board, waxing a board, surf safety
  2. On the beach surf safety
  3. Catching waves - You will be shown and learn how to catch waves by yourself and how to trim the board.
  4. How to stand up - We have 3 different ways on how to stand up, we'll tailor this to your individual needs.
  5. Plenty of practice and coaching.
  6. Surf Safety all through the course.
  7. Introduction to surf forecasting
  8. Pictures and video of your surfing (Depending on conditions and staff availability).


We find that any more than 2 hours surfing in a day and most beginners are happy but shattered.


If you have any questions, don't hesitate to phone or text us on 07583 348013


We look forward to teaching you to surf!


Please note:

  1. The time for the first session is on the calendar page.
  2. It is important that you come to the first session. This is because it includes the main safety briefing and you will learn some key skills that we will then develop during our other sessions. Before you book please check you are available to make the first session, otherwise we hope you can find another month to book onto that works for you.
  3. The times for each session will change to take into account the tide times. This will be shared with the group at the end of each session.
  4. Course sessions are not transferable to another month, for example it is not possible for you to book onto a course in September take 2 sessions and then take the remaining 2 sessions in October.
  5. Course booking are non-refundable. You can of course reschedule onto another course up to a year from your booking. Should you wish to reschedule we ask for 72 hrs notice before the course you are booked on is due to start. This is because we are fortunate that our courses have become popular and are often full booked, therefore someone else may have missed out on a space but it's unlikely they are able to change their diary in time to take up a space that has suddenly become available.

We enjoyed a fantastic beginner's lesson with Emma. The kids loved it. Best two hours of their Easter break.
