Who it's for
Surfing is cool, full stop. That life of sand, sunshine and watching sunsets as the water laps around your toes is massively attractive. These lessons give you a glimpse of the surfer life you secretly wished you had!
Who it's not for
Learning to surf takes effort and lots of practice. It can feel a bit like being in a washing machine at times, so if you're not confident in the water or don't like to get wet, then surfing probably isn't the right choice of water sport for you.

Can you go surfing in the UK?
Yes! When the winds are right and the waves are rolling in, it's definitely a case of surf's up in the UK. The obvious place to learn how to surf and ride barrels like a pro is Cornwall. With beautiful Blue Flag beaches, you might be forgiven for thinking it was Hawaii and not Cornwall! As the saying goes, 'If it swells, ride it' and that's just what happens here, but it also goes off in North Devon and even Sunderland too!
Can you learn to surf on your own?
Although you can just rock up to a beach with your surfboard under your arm, beginners are always advised to take a surfing lesson before going it alone. There are some essentials to learn and it's much better to get a proper lesson than be one of those 'all the gear no idea' surf types struggling to stand up on their board for lack of technique!
How hard is it to surf?
The thing about surfing is that it's not as easy as the likes of the legend that is Kelly Slater make it look. It's not just a case of standing on the shoreline with your surfboard under your arm, picking the surf break and riding it. Beginners are better off going for easy spilling waves no bigger than four feet. Now that may not sound very high, but when you are out there in the sea as it rushes towards you it's still pretty impressive.
Will there be waves?
Our surf schools are located in areas of the UK that are well-known for good swells. Looking at the weather and sea conditions, the instructors will decide on the day which bay or beach you'll be going to for your lesson to make sure the conditions are the best they can be for your level of surfing.
Is it cold surfing in the UK?
In places like Devon, Cornwall and Dorset, water temperatures regularly reach between 24 and 26 degrees during the summer months, which is pretty nice! Having said that, most beginners still prefer having a wetsuit on, but surfing barefoot is definitely do-able. In winter months, surf schools lend you wetsuit boots, gloves and hats.
How do you paddle on a surfboard?
Paddling is an essential part of surfing. Lying down on your belly you learn how to use your arms to paddle out into the water, doing what surfers call 'duck dives' to go through on-coming waves. Then when you're ready to catch a wave, you start paddling before jumping into the surf stance with one foot in front of the other on the board.
