Booked for my Hen do this weekend, the conditions weren’t right for surfing, but we were offered an alternative activity of paddle boarding and given the option of individual or a giant board for all of us. Yes the walk down isn’t fun, not exactly the shops fault so don’t get why people moan about that. We took our time and got down and up totally fine. We had such a great time in the water, playing games and having such a great time. Would def use them again. Thank you for making our time so fun!

The staff at Cayton Bay Surf Shop are super friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can really tell they care about making sure everyone has the best possible time. The whole weekend was just incredible. The place itself has that real surfy atmosphere – felt like a mini holiday.

Had a group lesson with Simon today. Never done it before and really enjoyed it. Nice set up and Simon was great at getting the salient points across. Really pleased that of the 2h lesson we spent more than 3/4 of it in the water. All staff really helpful and great location.
