I've wanted to surf for over 20 years, but never felt fit enough and also live in the landlocked Midlands! I turned 40 in August, so my sister agreed to have a lesson with me on holiday. Steve was an incredible instructor, and we were lucky enough to have him all to himself. We were both really nervous, but they made us feel so comfortable (including the other guy at the school whose name I've forgotten). We were buzzing afterwards and now both have the surfing bug, thank you! 🌊😍

Really great group of instructors. I went back last week after a brilliant lesson last time we were in Westward Ho! The session was just as brilliant with Tommy this time, and we had a great time. He was so friendly and welcoming and gave us some great tips. Went back to rent boards the next day. Super chilled, showers afterwards and parking really close. Great learner waves on that beach. Thanks guys, we will be back!

My daughter and I had our first, definitely not last, surf lesson today. Tommy, our instructor, was incredibly welcoming and because of the small group size, was able to offer really great advice and tuition. A great morning learning something new, and most importantly, having lots of fun!!

We had a brilliant lesson at the surf school. Stu was really great to shuffle around his existing bookings and fit us in with under 24 hours notice. Everyone was very welcoming. Our instructor was really knowledgable and great at giving pointers which enabled us both to make some great progress in our lesson. Would really recommend!
