Surfing made simple, fun, and personal!

Learning to surf can be tough and the ocean more than a little intimidating. We'd know - we didn't discover surfing till we were in our 20s!

It's why we create Blue - to give you the lesson we wish we'd had heading out for the first time or riding our first green wave.

What makes us different is simple:

We combine the smallest lesson groups in the industry, with people-focused instructors, and give you our undivided attention from the moment you arrive until you leave.

Just serious high-quality lessons with an easy-going feel that will progress your surfing whatever stage you're at.

Check out our surf lessons below to see what option suits you best!

Key Features:

  • Not a single bad review

    Did you know that we literally have no bad reviews? I mean ZERO. 99.4% are 5 stars and the rest? Two 4 stars from before we took over Blue.

    We're. Just. That. Good.

  • Smallest Lesson Groups

    At Blue we have the smallest lesson groups in the industry. That means more 1-2-1 instructor time and waves for faster progression...

    ...and less places to hide!

  • Super Close to the Waves

    We don't drag you through town or up a coastal path here. Just sand and sea in a few short steps.

    You'll have sand between your toes in under 3 minutes.

  • All Equipment Included

    Well maintained, DRY, premium C-Skin wetsuits and Vision surfboards are included with every lesson.

    Yep - DRY wetsuits. Hallelujah!

    “My daughter had a kids surf lesson this morning and loved it. The instructor made her feel super safe and comfortable in the waves. It was also obvious how fun they made the session whilst still making great surf progress over the hour and a half. My daughter asked when she could go again as we got in the car. Thanks Blue Surf School we will be back 👍”

    “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 is really refreshing.

    Absolutely brilliant morning with Adam and the chaps at Blue Surf School. Explained everything in layman’s terms and created a laid back atmosphere. No flashy/show-off behaviour from the instructors, just helping the small group out and encouraging us to get the most out of our improver class. Didn’t want the session to end and will definitely be booking again in the future.”
