Summary: Myself and a group of friends did the camping and surfing package, doing a lesson on the Saturday and on the Sunday. We had the absolute best time, having our first lesson at Summerleaze and our second at Widemouth. It was incredible value for money and our coach, Marco, was 10/10. He spread his time between all of us really well, helping us all to catch waves and giving us lots of tips to improve. He was also super easy to get on with and made us all feel really comfortable. We’d definitely come back to surf with Marco and the team at Freewave. Thanks so much 🤙

Summary: I booked a taster session while we were in Cornwall, more as a means of getting teenagers off devices than anything, but it was the best part of the holiday by far The surf school were really easy to find and we were introduced to our instructor, Tom, who fitted us with wet suits & boards and explained how the day would run We went down onto the beach together and Tom went over some basic information on why the waves behave as they do and the reason the lifeguards flag the beach in specific places. Tom had years of experience as a surf instructor but had also been a lifeguard himself so we felt we were in safe hands We headed into the sea, where Tom was always close by and on hand to help, making sure everyone was ok Tom had reassured us that we would all go at our own pace and he was true to his word After a short break back out on the beach together to practice standing on our boards, we went back into the water for the final part of the session No one was more surprised than me that some of us were actually standing to surf by the end We all had an absolute blast and I would highly recommend to anyone, of any fitness level This school wasn’t taking out big groups, like some of the others on offer at the beach and as a result we were fortunate enough to have a lot of one on one time in the sea, which wouldn’t have been possible in a larger group Big thanks to Tom and Freewave, we all have a new love of the ocean and can’t wait to get back out
