Go from zero to hero with Big Blue Surf School

If you are looking to surf for the first time or even to improve your technique, then our coaches are experienced in making the most of your session. We cover how to carry a surfboard, catching a wave and different ways to stand up. We break the 2-hour lesson down into valuable coaching time on the beach as well as extensive water time to make the most of practising your skills.

 

This package of two surf lessons is ideal for anyone who’s new to surfing as it allows the best introduction to the sport. On the first session we cover the basics from how to carry a surfboard, to catching and standing up on a wave. The second session is the one where you see the most progress. Having already experienced catching a wave and starting to get to your feet, we can really work on your technique, and confidence in the sea.

This package is also beneficial to anyone who has surfed before and are looking to progress their technique and work on any additional skills, such as paddling out through waves or catching green waves.

This package of three surfing sessions is perfect for those looking to develop their surfing skills during their time in Cornwall. If you would like to master the basics of catching a wave and standing up, then progressing onto turning your board, weight distribution and even paddling out through the surf to green waves then this is for you!

The 3-session development package is also perfect for surfers that have mastered the basics and would like to spend some time with a surf coach to improve any specific aspects of their surfing. This is the ideal package for anyone looking for surfing lessons in Bude.

Private lessons allow maximum progress, as you’ll be the sole focus of the instructor. After establishing goals and abilities with your coach at the start of the session, they will be able to inspect your technique and coach specific needs/goals that were initially discussed. With further tips and advice during the debrief, you’ll have enough knowledge to progress your surfing abilities to the next level.
