Surfing is perhaps the purest of all the extreme sports; it has an iconic status and proud history. There is a certain romance in surfing which comes from man harnessing some of the worlds most beautiful and powerful natural forces. Millions of people around the world surf and it isn't as hard to learn as you may think, you need to learn the basics correctly from the start and then it's all practice, practice, practice.

This course is also suitable for people who have had surfing experience as the instructor will tailor the tuition to your needs.
Experience Content
The course will start off with you being issued with your wetsuit and being introduced to the board, you will then be taught the principles of surfing on the beach with the instructor covering paddling, pop (standing up), stance and the all important timing. You will then hit the water where you will start putting the theory into practice. This half day experience is great fun, to give you the best possible chance of catching your first wave we do recommend the full day course.
