Lessons · Torquay
Group lessons for first‑timers, private coaching for one or a family of up to four, and Saturday mornings with women coaches.
Three ways in
Never surfed? Start here
Two hours in the whitewater with a small group of fellow first‑timers. You'll start on the sand, then head into the waves on a big, soft, stable board that's built for catching them.
Groups are capped at eight, so there's a coach close by every time you paddle for one, and every time you fall off. (You will. Everyone does. It's the best bit.)
Just you, or your whole family
A coach all to yourself, or a lesson for a family of up to four. Good for nervous starters, quick learners, mixed ages and anyone who'd rather not share the waves with strangers.
We go at your pace and work on exactly what you need, from your first pop-up to riding along the face.
Saturdays, women coaches
Saturday sessions coached by women, for first‑timers, returners and anyone who'd like to learn alongside other women.
Come with your friends, or come on your own and paddle back in with a few new ones.
Included in every lesson
You bring yourself and your bathers. The board, wetsuit, coach and the day's best spot are on us, every lesson, every day.
What to bring
Leave yourself time to suit up before the lesson. Here's all you need in your bag.
