"The morning session was excellent & exactly what I was after; an explanation of the main aspects relating to the sport. However, the afternoon surfing brought things into sharp focus. I need to get to my feet quicker & have taken on-board your advice. Although obviously frustrating, I am determined to advance & once I have broken this particular physical hurdle I will able to apply the rest of the course elements you taught on Saturday. I suppose it's one step at a time, patience & practice.
Thanks once again for great day. (Dont Just Stand There Course). Regards.Rej"

This whole day costs just £69 and lasts around eight hours or longer if the surfs really good!!  It also includes lunch and use of any equipment if you need it.

 This course is solely aimed at surfers who want to move on to the next level, learning how to put in solid turns and getting around sections etc, it is for people who really want to move on in their surfing instead of just riding to the shore...hence the course name.

This course is a full on day, but will definitely improve your knowledge not to mention your surfing ability.  It’s a good idea to bring pens / paper for notes as there is a lot of content throughout.

1-2-6 Surf Course   £49pp

Brand new for intermediates - all practical
Check out our brand new one-two-six course.  This course is generally a follow up from our Don't Just Stand There surf course and is all practical.  This course has a fully qualified British Surf Association instructor in the water with you, coaching you every step of the way.  It is designed so that you have an instructor and a maximum of five other pupils over a three hour period ensuring you get heaps of attention.  You will be taught how to actually paddle out in a rip safely, (if conditions allow) and will learn wave judgement and take off points. Take off on a wave with your instructor right beside you!  This way you quickly learn how to take off in a perfect position etc.

You will also be shown bottom turns and how body rotational movement actually works. Throughout the lesson you will be encouraged to copy your instructor who will guide you through to progress to your next level. The course costs £49 and includes use of any equipment if you need it.

Be prepared to see a steep learning curve on this course, but also be prepared to be totally exhausted afterwards! We don't want any moaning because you want to sleep for a week!  It is hard work but highly rewarding.
