SURF LESSONS

Learn to Surf, Stand up Paddleboard and Surf Skate or improve your current skill level with the Isle of Wight’s fully equipped Premium Mobile Surf Academy.

We provide bespoke, person centred tuition for adults and children from the age of 8 for all levels. Lessons are taught on an individual basis or in private groups of up to six students by a qualified coach and Beach Lifeguard.

We only coach in small private groups, as this low ratio of student to coach enables us to keep everyone safer and create an environment that is conducive towards the learning needs of each student, allowing them to develop confidence, progress faster, gain skills and have fun.

So you can be assured that you will receive specialist tuition in a fun, friendly environment at the most suitable and safest location.
