Had a great 1-1 lesson with Ingemar. Good value for a 2 hour lesson including surf hire and wetsuit.
Very personable and caring tuition and business, going above expectation by calling me a few days later to advise the type of surfboard to buy and how to buy it.
Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for relaxed but professional surf tuition or advice.

Great lesson with Ingemar and Will. About ten of us in the group and all of us had individual attention and feedback. Also, in booking they were very accommodating and offered a variety of times to suit us. Extremely friendly and professional. Will definitely be back.

Great little surf school, managed to accommodate us last minute. Mike was a great teacher and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Even managed to make sure we got some sunshine
