They say you can't choose who your family are... but you CAN book them into a surf lesson with a high chance of nose diving action!

You Can't Beat A Family Surf!

Parents - I want you to hark back to the days you were a kid...

Was there anything more boring than going to see a seemingly never ending list of National Trust sites??

So why not have the family do something the kids will actually WANT to tell their friends about back at school?!

Ideal for families of any surfing level - your private surf instructor will design the lesson plan to suit you.

So whether you're looking to progress quickly, have children lacking water confidence needing a little more support, or just want to be away from the crowds - our private family surf lessons are a great option.

Just be warned... surfing is one of the first activities kids are normally better than their parents at and they WILL let you know about it!

Price: £100pp (1 Person) to £35pp (6 People)

    Blue Surf is our favourite surf school in Watergate Bay AND is conveniently located next to the large car park. We’ve been there several times now and Adam and his team have always provided a fun, safe and educational surf experience for the entire family. They got us hooked on surfing so we’ll definitely be coming back!

    INCREDIBLE! We booked a private family session and my kids absolutely loved it! Staff and instructors were friendly, helpful and fun to be around. Grace was fab, the equipment was well maintained and the vibes were excellent. THANK YOU!!!”

    “Should you be looking for surf lessons, I'd strongly recommend Blue Surf. I booked two private family lessons this week, which were excellent and well worth doing. Our instructors had so much time to coach us - whenever improvements were needed, the feedback was instant. Great progress was made and all of us were able to stand. The whole experience, friendliness of the staff and equipment was second to none. I also hired equipment after our lessons, which was a great price and high standard. Again, thank you, your ethos to the business is really refreshing.

    I booked a private family group lesson to celebrate my 60th birthday. Adam was very helpful, then our instructor Louis took us into the surf. We had a huge amount of fun, and all got up riding the boards. Would definitely recommend. We will book again for an improver course next time we're in Watergate Bay. Thank you from all of us.
