Beginners lesson

Haven’t had that much fun in months. Toby was a great instructor and really took his time equally with us all, so we all understood the basics and were able to enjoy ourselves. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to learn to surf.

Highly recommend!

Great value for money! Toby was a great teacher and really supportive. All 3 of my girls (ages 8 to 14) stood up on the board multiple times - they all want to have another go. Definitely worth the money going in a small group - they all got a lot of 1:1 coaching.
