Learn to Surf weekend

Our weekend Learn to Surf courses are great for beginners, and maximise your chance of standing up and riding your first wave.

If you'd like to leave work on Friday evening as a wannabee and roll up on Monday morning as paid up member of the coolest sport on the planet then this is the course for you. 

As with all our surf courses you will spend plenty of time in the water, in a small group, with a British Surf Association qualified coach.

Our main teaching venue is at Whitesands Beach (Porthmawr) which is a blue flag beach, with clean water and good local facilities.

Occasionally we visit other beaches to seek the “wave of the day”.

Each weekend will cover:

• Handling & paddling a surf board safely & correctly
• The ability to identify and pick suitable waves
• Ride a wave; prone and standing up (to some extent!)
• Make simple turns; prone and standing up
• Predict waves & surf using weather charts & forecasts
• Understanding of common beach/ water hazards and how to treat them
• Knowledge of equipment and how to choose what is best for you
• Knowledge of good surfing locations close to you, or around the world

and include lots of surfing!
