It was my first time and ell helped me ease into it. By the end of the surf lesson, I was able to stand on the board for a few seconds - a fantastic achievement for a beginner. It was a great experience and will be back for more

I did a small group surfing lesson as a beginner and it was so fun! The instructor, not only, talked you through how to surf and the different techniques but also what conditions are good for surfing and how the tide works. It was brilliant and completely worth it!
