What a great surf school and what a great team operating it. My son has just finished a 6 season course to learn surfing basics as a part of his DofE Bronze. He’s now able to get up on a board and ride the waves! He loved it and will be back for more. 🏄🏼‍♂️👍

After our son had already spent three days on a course at the North Devon Surf School and had a great time, he persuaded us today to do a course with him as well. The instructors were brilliant; they explained everything clearly and were always on hand to offer help and tips, even in the water. It was great fun – we can highly recommend the North Devon Surf School. Thank you guys

We had so much fun! James and Charlie were excellent with our 9yr old, accomodating sensory issues and making sure she was happy and safe. Good clear instruction and continued coaching through the session. Even continuing to offer support towards the more capable surfers who usually get forgotten about. Would definitely go back.
