Amy - fantastic instructor!!!! - My daughter and I had Amy as our instructor, and she was absolutely brilliant. Both of us progressed quickly and could confidently stand by the end of the lesson. Will highly recommend - all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to join you again in the future. Amy - I wish Women + Waves will send you to Barbados ;-)

Highly recommend - We attended the beginner surf lesson today (26th July) and had an amazing time. James, our instructor, was knowledgeable, patient and an excellent teacher! We highly recommend him, as well as the activity centre. I had never been surfing before, and although I wasn’t very good at it, the experience was fantastic. After the lesson there are showers around the back of the centre and a changing room to get changed in. We had such a lovely time - thanks.

We ran through the basics on the beach and then headed out to the water for the most time in the water possible - My surf lesson yesterday was really good. I learned the basic and Harrison my instructor was very helpful. He helped me with just getting the perfect wave and getting onto my knees.He was also very friendly to everyone in the group. Will definitely come back since I would love to practice this skill and get better since I hope to one day stand up fully. From Megan
