Description

*** This is a weekly Course ***

Come join us for 2 hours each day over 4 weekends.

Courses will take place either every Saturday or every Sunday. When you go to the booking calendar the start day and date will inform you of the day for that month. For example; you are looking to book onto a course and the booking calendar shows that on the month you have selected the start day for the first session is on a Saturday. This means that the following 3 sessions will also be held on a Saturday.

Please also be aware the times for each session will change to tie in with the tide times. This will be shared with the group at the end of each session.

Ages are for 16 up to 70.

All Equipment is provided if needed.

Before considering yourself for this course you should be able to catch broken white water waves easily.

Able to stand on at least 70% of the waves you catch and are thinking about turning.

You should have had at least 1 lesson and have had plenty of practice by yourself.

This will help improve your technique for catching waves and standing up.

We will tweek what you doing well and correct what you are doing wrong.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to phone or text us on 07583 348013

Please note:

  1. The time for the first session is advertised on the booking page.
  2. The times for each session will change to take into account the tide times. This will be shared with the group at the end of each session.
  3. Course sessions are not transferable to another month, for example it is not possible for you to book onto a course in September take 2 sessions and then take the remaining 2 sessions in October.
  4. Course booking are non-refundable. You can of course reschedule onto another course up to a year from your booking. Should you wish to reschedule we ask for 72 hrs notice before the course you are booked on is due to start. This is because we are fortunate that our courses have become popular and are often full booked, therefore someone else may have missed out on a space but it's unlikely they are able to change their diary in time to take up a space that has suddenly become available.


We look forward to you join us!
