Surf School
North Devon is a surfer's paradise. Miles of golden sand plays host to some of the best waves in the British Isles.
Surfing as a local sport can be difficult to access if you have no friends or family willing to introduce you to the sea. Surf School aims to introduce young people to the sport, equipping them with basic skills to enable them to gain enjoyment and future interest towards continuing the sport.
Links can be made with local surf organisations, to ensure interests are followed up.
Dependent on the weather conditions, qualified surf instructors will select a venue suitable for the young peoples needs. This will always take the form of a gently sloping sand beach for easy access and safety. Wave prediction is somewhat impossible, but even the smallest of waves can provide a controlled environment for learning.
All young people will be supplied with a full wet suit, boots and gloves if required, and be presented with their own surf board.
Due to the nature of surfing, the British Surf Association specifies that no more than 10 young people are permitted against each instructor. This ensures maximum safety and instructional attention for all concerned.
Don't forget to bring some money for the ice-cream van!
