Aimed at anyone who can already stand up and surf, the improver weekend is an opportunity to take your surfing to the next level and take advantage of being coached in a small group atmosphere by two experienced BSA level 3 coaches.
The weekend will provide the opportunity for classroom based lessons using video analysis and training seminars, as well as practical surfing sessions taking advantage of the best waves on the day with access to all of North Devon's beaches.
The course will consist of a full coaching programme throughout Saturday, finishing with an organised group meal on the Saturday evening (at own expense). Sunday consists of a half day surfing and coaching programme, allowing time to pack up and head back home at the end of the weekend.
Accommodation can be booked through Croyde Holiday Village (Unison) at a discounted rate of £30 B&B for course participants (Call 01271 890890) - other accommodation providers are available through our office or Click here to view our guide to places to stay.
