Surfing is one of the world's most exciting and rewarding watersports and this surfing lesson in Bournemouth is the best way to learn all the basics while splashing around in the sea. Begin on dry land with a full group briefing and, after being kitted out with a wetsuit and board, it's time to start surfing. Wade into the sea with your ISA qualified surfing instructor and learn how to paddle, handle the board, then go from lying down to standing. Before long, expect to be riding the waves like a real professional - well, almost! Surfing is a challenging sport, but with a little time, effort and the right conditions, it's a thrill which is likely to leave you wanting more.
