Unreal time with an amazing teacher

If you’re in the area you absolutely have to take a lesson here. Second to none and I wish I spent more time here so I could go back!

Brilliant surfing experience

We had such a great experience doing our surf lesson. Mark gave us a great overview before heading into the water. He was so helpful in a fun way and let us just give it a shot in the water! Loved his positive mindset and thinking!

Excellent

Really good concise lesson. I was told a range of things about the board, safety and how to stand and turn. We then went out and I was able to stand first try and could turn. Highly recommended. I feel competent enough to go out and develop my skills solo
