Ali, Pete and Jude are just all so wonderful! My daughter has done lessons with them for the past five years and the progress has been truly amazing. The lessons are so well organised with a huge emphasis on fun and on challenging each child to reach their own potential. Many thanks to you guys for another fabulous year of surf🙏🙏🙏

Jude is a great teacher! I love that they tell you to first read the beach and sea conditions. Then solid advice when it's needed. 👏👏👏👏
Martijn , August 2025
This surf school and rental is located on a beach which is part of a beautiful coastline. The people are very experienced. When you rent a surfboard here they explain the surf spot in detail and show the best and safest place to go in the water. My son and I had nice conditions with decent waves and we had a great time. It is important to contact the rental before driving to the spot as surfing / renting is not possible at certain (dangerous) conditions.
Magda Cichon , July 2025
