Beginner Surf Course
Lesson Information
Our sunset beginner surf courses take advantage of Scotland’s long days and magical summers
These courses run as four week blocks on Mondays and Wednesday evening (7-9pm) through the summer.
We have a lot of fun teaching you the basics of surfing in the sea, building understanding of how to paddle correctly, how to catch waves, stand, improve posture or even build speed control and turning skills while standing!
Its not all practical as we aim to give in depth knowledge of all aspects of beginner surfing, including terminology, what to look for when buying your first board or wetsuit, how to know when the waves are good and how to keep safe in the sea!
On the back of this course you should be well on the way to independent surfing!
