Finally got on a surfboard. - Fantastic time in a women’s wee-being surf lesson. I’ve been wanting to book one for a long time but kept putting it off. This session was the perfect opportunity to increase my confidence within a like minded group. The instructor was very helpful and supportive. The session was well organised and safe. I came away eager to continue learning and practicing.

Best afternoon ever! - I was gifted a surf lesson for father's day. We arrived at cullen and was met by our instructor Toby. Very chill, friendly and down to earth. Clearly loves his job as he is a great teacher and when you managed to catch a wave or not I felt he genuinely shared your excitement. He was fantastic with the adults and kids. And made the whole experience 100% better. The kit and equipment were great and in great condition. Honestly not a bad thing to say about this experience. The whole family walked away and want to take up surfing as a full time hobby. If anyone is thinking of something to do one afternoon or even a unique gift then I would highly recommend blue Coast!

Great experience. Doing it for third year now. - Tuition is very good. Grand-daughter now doing it for third year and is really enjoying the experience and growing in capability. Buying a block of lessons and using them over late spring and summer gives her something to look forward to.

Amazing first time paddleboarding - I was bought a paddle boarding lesson for my birthday. It's something I have wanted to try for a number of years. I was a very lucky lady,as I was the only one in the session that particular morning. Adam is a super coach and very patient! It was a full two hours which I throughly enjoyed. I was nervous when the time came for me to stand up on the board-legs like jelly!! But Adam was encouraging me the whole time. Of course I fell off!!-not a problem,but trying to get back on the board was a tadge hard,but I did it! It was a windy day and challenging at times. I am now thinking of buying a paddleboard and practice,practice practice! Thank you Adam for being the best teacher.
