Taster Lessons
Two hours covering beach safety, paddling, the pop-up on the sand and then repeated attempts in whitewater with a coach beside you. Board, wetsuit, transport to the chosen beach, insurance and a hot drink afterwards are included, and the great majority of participants stand up within the session. Minimum age is eight and there is no upper limit; our oldest first-timer this year was seventy-four. Sessions run twice daily in summer and at weekends year-round.
Beginner Courses
Five sessions over consecutive days or spread across weekends, taking students from first contact with a board to catching unbroken waves and turning along the face. Content includes reading a beach, positioning in the line-up, surf etiquette and self-rescue as well as technique. All equipment is included, video review runs from the third session, and every participant receives a written assessment of what they can do independently and what to practise next.
Improver and Advanced Coaching
For surfers who can already catch waves but have stopped progressing: paddle efficiency, wave selection, bottom turns, trimming, duck diving, positioning and how to read a sandbank. Sessions are filmed and reviewed, and coaching can be one-to-one or in groups of three. We also run pre-trip preparation for people travelling somewhere heavier, and a winter block focused on fitness, breath-holding and handling bigger surf safely.
Surf Camps and Weeks
Week-long camps combining two sessions a day with video analysis, theory, yoga, equipment workshops and evening meals together, with accommodation in partner guesthouses or a campsite five minutes from the base. Camps run at three levels, group size is capped at twelve, and the programme adjusts to the forecast rather than following a fixed schedule. Non-surfing partners can join the meals and the activities at a reduced rate.
Kids' Club and School Groups
Holiday clubs for ages eight to sixteen running weekly through the summer, mixing surfing with bodyboarding, beach games, water-safety training and a certificate. Ratios are four to one, coaches hold child-specific qualifications, and equipment is sized properly for children rather than adapted from adult stock. School groups are taught free of charge during term time as part of the local water-safety programme, and we keep loan equipment for children who cannot afford it.
Adaptive Surfing and Private Groups
Adaptive sessions with trained coaches, tandem boards, beach wheelchairs and additional water support for participants with physical or learning disabilities, run monthly and at any time by arrangement. Private groups — families, stag and hen parties, companies and clubs — can book whole sessions with their own timing, equipment and catering. Gift vouchers are available and valid for two years, which makes them one of our most common winter sales.
