oa surf lesson - Although the weather started very windy and wet the teaching and training within the waves was brilliant. The staff were patient and supportive.

The perfect beginners surf experience - Me and my wife booked 2 private surf lessons. We had the best time!!! Both of us are beginner surfers but had great instructors on both sessions. Teddy was really great with coaching points so we were able to make the most from both sessions. The whole process is so easy and straightforward, just rock up to Widemouth bay car park and they were there all set up and ready to go. We will definitely be back in the future for more sessions and tips! Thank you!!!

I actually booked another... - I actually booked another date through Viator, but for some reason viator let me book when it was closed! Received a message from Rob, who let me know and let me rearrange for another date. Myself and 3 children (9, 12, 13) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves , Tia and Dillon were our instructors , very informative, I was slightly worried about my 9 year old boy as he was a bit anxious as it’s a new experience for all of us , but Dillon stuck with him and he had a great time! Tia was very informative with clear , simple to understand instructions given and very friendly. Would definitely do again next time we come to Cornwall.

Great tuition and experience - My 2 children aged 7 and 9 had lessons for 2hrs for 2 days, the instructor was really good and they loved it and did really well and progressed more than I thought they would. The equipment was good and they gave them thicker wet suits then we had to keep the warm for the sessions. Really pleased and happy children

Highly recommended surf club A*** - Me & my partner shared our first surf lesson last Thursday with Hannah. We had such an enjoyable session & would highly recommend OA Surf Club to our friends & family. Hannah is a fantastic coach, she made us feel very welcome & at ease to ask any questions we may of had. We both managed to get up on the board, if only for a few seconds. We will definitely join OA surf club in the spring for our next surf lessons. Thank you so much OASC - keep shining bright!

Smashing first lesson - Lovely lesson. Very well organised. Loved Tia and all her instructions. Enjoyed the lesson. The only constructive comment - felt a little crowded in the water due to small space and a lot of people so if can be more spread out - would be better. Thank you 🙏

Book directly with the providers of the experience - I've given this rating not for the actual surfing - because we didn't get to go. The availability of booking times on your website were incorrect and the surf company providing the experience rang to cancel the booking. There were no times available that day - your website was showing availability from 12 noon all the way through to 6pm. Very disappointed as was a gift for my friends birthday. We booked with another company directly.
