Learn to Surf Day for Two
Choose from multiple experiences
Overview
On this full day experience you'll learn the basics of surfing practice and etiquette and by the end of the day you'll be catching some waves with the best of them. The experience takes place either in Cornwall (home of British surfing) or Cleveland, and the instructors all hold lifeguard and first aid qualifications, so you'll be in safe hands. During your morning lesson you'll learn all about safety, basic paddling techniques, catching waves, board trim and steering, standing up (the hard bit!), wave selection and rights of way. Then after lunch spend the whole afternoon practising your new skills among the waves, with your instructor always on hand. So come and find out what all the fuss is about - you'll never forget the thrill of riding your first wave.
