Beginner Surf Courses
Our unique coaching system has been refined over 29 years of professional, qualified experience. We keep safety paramount but never hold back your progression and always make learning fun.
We have low pupil to instructor ratios of 1 to 8 and often less and use clear and structured teaching methods that we tailor to your individual needs.
For total beginners, soft surf boards are used at first, then later moving onto fibreglass boards.
All techniques are first learnt on the beach and then in the water. The first few days are spent in waist depth water and then onto the skills of paddling out and catching unbroken waves.
Also, all our beginner courses contain excellent background information that will really expand your surfing knowledge.
These include:
- Types of Rips
- Wave formation
- The history of surfing
- Surfboard design
- The rules of surfing
- Tides and how they work
- Fitness for surfing
- Types of surf spots
- Surf prediction
- Catching Unbroken Waves
- Paddling Techniques
- Places to Surf
We encourage all our clients, from beginner onwards, to stay in contact with us after their course. We can then advise you on equipment, technique, surf spots etc
The coaching relationship with our clients and the high number of return clients we have is one of the great reasons for our success, and of course we are open all year round.
