Girls Surf Courses, Girls Surf Lessons, Girls Surf Weekends and Girls Surf Holidays

After the success of our previous Girls on Waves Girl only surfing Weekends, Surf South West is arranging more weekends in 2012.

The emphasis of the girls surfing lessons are to give girls a chance to learn to surf in a fun and friendly environment on Devon’s best surf beaches. All sessions will be lead by our BSA qualified female surf instructors, and are suitable for girls of all ages from eight to eighty, all abilities are welcome for our all female surf lessons.

On arrival our instructors will have a chat with you to ascertain your surfing experience, and we will ensure that you are placed in a group with female surfers of a similar ability.

We will be offering a range of courses from a half day taster to a 1 ½ day weekend girls surf course. The weekend course is the recommended option for maximum progress and sense of achievement, by the end of this course almost all participants will be standing up and riding waves to the shore.

We are the first surf school in the UK to be awarded Level 4 status by the British Surfing Association.  This is the highest level attainable and is awarded in recognition that Surf South West has the highest standards of coaching.

" We just wanted to say a big thank you to all those involved in our surfing day with you. We had a terrific time and even those who were really nervous and had never surfed before came out of the sea loving it! In fact we loved it so much we're planning a weekend trip down to Croyde in the next couple of months, to enhance our new found surfing skills. Once again thank you so much, we will definitely recommend you to anyone else we know who wants to learn to surf. "
