I chose here just because it was close to my accommodation but it turned out to be a great choice after all!! All the instructors were super friendly and encouraging participants to stay focused and interested. My 9 year old twin boys loved the class. Thank you!

Me and my mum just recently took 2 lessons here - one private and one group - and it has been such a great experience! This is our first time surfing, and everything was very comfortable and clear, even though my mum doesn't speak much English and I have to translate for her. Many thanks to the instructor Jack and the whole team ❤️

Did a surf lesson today( sunday 18 jan) with the 10 am crew ( believe it was jameson? And the others in the team) they were amazing. Team had their eyes on us all the time, explained techniques and tips and oriented us in the water and gave each on of us personal advice on how to be better. Definitely an experience i would repeat with them. The waves are amazing!!! Highly recommended.

Booked the 3x 2hr sessions for my first time surfing. The instructors were great (Jack, Lewis, Harriet, Dimo) and on successive lessons they can give more time instructing you, which helped me to feel much more confident by the end of the last lesson. Would definitely recommend these guys
