Surf South West Appear in the Sunday Times:

"I booked with Surf South West, one of the UK's top surf schools. Darren Burrett and his team could teach a mongoose to surf and, under the eye of hunky Will, I caught my first wave, all the way in to the shore and standing on two feet. The adrenaline rush was awesome." - Emma Parker Bowles.
