We run them from our Surfing England Centre of Excellence on Moor Lane with the same six-to-one standards as our public groups, but with your instructor focused on you or your party for the whole session. 📋 Key Details Duration: 2.5 hour private lesson Format: One-to-one or private group (up to six people) Meeting point: Baggy Lodge, Moor Lane, Croyde, EX33 1PA 🌊 What to Expect Your surf lesson will take 2.5 hours, with a minimum of 1.5 hours of water time. You will change into your wetsuit, collect your surfboard, receive a safety briefing and focus points at the beach, then surf with personalised feedback throughout the session. When your session ends, you drop your board off, get changed and enjoy a hot shower at the surf school. Private format means your instructor stays focused on you or your group for the whole lesson, so children, nervous first-timers, and improvers all get more waves and quicker corrections than in a busy public group. 👨‍👩‍👧 Family private groups We organise family surfing lessons for children aged five and over in a private group format, with a surf instructor dedicated to you. Your family surf instructor is also a qualified beach lifeguard, so younger surfers get the attention they need in the whitewater and early green waves. It is a practical way to enjoy time together on Croyde Bay while learning a new skill. Surfing is not affected by wet weather, so it works well on a rainy day in North Devon when a beach picnic is less appealing. 📍 Location Lessons run on Croyde Bay from our purpose-built academy on Moor Lane, with heated changing rooms and hot showers on site. Croyde's sandbank waves break reliably through much of the year, giving beginners whitewater to learn on and improvers green waves to progress on in the same bay. Baggy Lodge is a short walk from the sand, with secure storage for your belongings while you surf and hundreds of wetsuits on site so fitting kids and adults in one family group is straightforward. ✅ Prerequisites Complete beginners are welcome, as are experienced surfers working on specific skills. Everyone must swim at least 50 metres and feel comfortable in the sea with a wetsuit and board for support.

One-to-one and private group lessons for older children and adults are available at any surfing level we coach on the bay. Tell us ages and experience in chat when you reserve so we match boards, beach zones, and pacing to the least experienced person in your group without holding back stronger surfers. ### Do I need any surfing experience? Not at all. Private lessons cater for complete beginners through to experienced surfers working on specific skills in the line-up. Your instructor tailors the 2.5-hour session to your goals, whether that is your first whitewater wave or refining cutbacks and speed on green waves. ### Do I need to be a strong swimmer? Everyone must swim at least 50 metres and feel comfortable in the sea with a wetsuit and board for support when you are learning. If you have concerns about swimming, medical conditions, or additional needs, message us in chat when you reserve so we can advise honestly and plan a safe session. ### What is included in a private lesson? All equipment is included: surfboard, wetsuit, boots, gloves, and hood when needed, plus indoor changing and hot showers at Baggy Lodge. You get a dedicated coach for the full 2.5-hour session with at least 1.5 hours in the water and personalised feedback throughout, without sharing instructor time with a large public group. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear for under your wetsuit, a towel, and warm layers for afterwards. We provide Crocs in warmer months for the walk to the sand. If you have your own suit or board you love, you may bring them, but our store has hundreds of sizes if you prefer to travel light to North Devon. ### How long is the lesson and how is it structured? Lessons run for 2.5 hours with sign-in, kit issue, a beach brief, coached water time, then debrief and hot showers back at the centre. Private format means your instructor stays with you or your group the whole time, so children and nervous first-timers get more waves and quicker corrections than in a busy public lesson. ### How many people can be in a private group? Private groups typically run up to six people with one coach, which suits families, friends, or small celebrations who want the beach to themselves. Larger parties can message us in chat about additional instructors so ratios stay safe and everyone still gets meaningful coaching time in the water. ### Can my family surf together in one private session? Yes. Family private lessons are popular for mixed ages from five upwards, with one instructor focused on your group only for the full session. Your coach is also a qualified beach lifeguard, which helps when younger surfers need extra support in the whitewater or when parents want one shared experience together. ### Are showers and changing facilities available? Yes. We are the only surf school in Croyde with hot showers on site, plus heated changing rooms and secure lockers for phones and keys. Indoor facilities make private lessons more comfortable before and after your session, especially on colder Atlantic days when you want to warm up quickly. ### Where do we meet? Meet at Baggy Lodge, Moor Lane, Croyde, EX33 1PA, a short walk from Croyde Bay and the village. Arrive a little early to sign in and get fitted with your wetsuit and board. Parking in Croyde can be busy in summer, so allow extra time on peak weekends and school holidays. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/IMG_3498-9.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
