Surfing made simple, fun, and personal!

Small Groups - Less Crowds

At Blue Surf School, we help you develop the skills and confidence to surf independently and continue improving for years to come.

Learning to surf can be tough and the ocean more than a little intimidating - it's why we prioritize creating the ideal learning environment to progress your surfing no matter your ability.

Our lessons are intentionally small, with only six students per instructor—two fewer than most schools—delivering more one-on-one time with your coach.

As there's no "one size fits all" when it comes to surfing, we cater for different ages, abilities, and needs.

**Please Note:

Only ONE child between 5-7 years old can take part in a private surf lesson unsupervised.

For safety reasons, the Instructor will need to be with them at all times in the water and will have very limited opportunities to apply hands-on coaching to other participants (including other older children).

ANY additional child aged between 5-7 years old will need to be supervised by a non-surfing adult to take part.

    “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.”
