EXCELLENT Based on 273 reviews Gonzalo Villegas Curulla (GonzaloSound)2025-06-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. [Highly recommend it] Sam has been an excellent and knowledgeable person to discuss details about a wetsuit purchase during one of their second hand sales. In addition, I attended a beginner's surf session with Josh as the instructor: I had a very good time, I understood all his explanations, how to interpret sea-related and surf-related aspects, how to practise, etc. He was very good at creating a nice and engaging vibe, with frequent feedback during the session.

I have done a few lessons and hires over the last few years and all have been universally brilliant. The instructors are great and the teaching environment is supportive and encouraging. My most recent visit was as a group of 6 of varying surf skills across 2 adults and 4 children. Josh the instructor was absolutely brilliant, we were the only group in the lesson and it was tailored to exactly what we needed. We all learned new stuff whether that was how to make better turns, pop up more effectively or learn how to read the sea and try to pick waves. Both kids and adults had a great time and we will be back again soon for more. As well as top tuition the kit is very good, with quality wetsuits, gloves and boots keeping everyone warm on a cold March Saturday. the beach is great too, it is wide, very forgiving and has waves of differing sizes. Don’t be put off by surfline’s pessimistic assessment of wave conditions, in my experience it is pretty reliable for there to be something to surf.
