5.00This was our first ever surfing lesson, and we had a brilliant time. Sam was great, and the practice on the beach of ‘popping up’ was incredibly useful so when we got into the waves, we had an idea of what we were meant to try and achieve. He got us going on some decent sized waves for our ability and everyone in our group managed to stand up multiple times (it was a complete beginner group). Highly recommend as really good fun.
Great lesson

5.00Went on a couple of lessons having surfed just once before and had a great time on both. Would recommend the morning lesson rather than one in the afternoon, it felt safer since less people were in the water. All the instructors were great but especially Sam and Luke had such uplifting attitudes. They explained the basics well, gave great advice and had the patience to explain it over and over, making it possible to gain progress. Such a good experience!
