After a brief chat about your experience level and what you'd like to focus on, you'll head down to the beach to begin your session. A land-based warm-up and technique overview is followed by a hands-on, water-based lesson where your instructor will tailor feedback and drills to your individual progress. Beginner lessons will focus on basic safety, board control, paddling, and standing up, while experienced surfers can work on more specific skills like turning, positioning, and wave reading. The session can include video analysis or surf skate simulation for technique correction, depending on your goals and the conditions. Throughout the lesson, your instructor will be close by, offering pointers and ensuring you're getting the most from your time in the water. Location Croyde Bay sits within the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is one of the UK’s most well-known surf beaches thanks to its consistent swell and reliable sandbanks.

The meeting point for the session is Baggy Lodge, which is perfectly placed just minutes from the beach. On-site facilities include indoor changing rooms, hot showers, and easy access to nearby cafés and local shops. There is also parking available, making it a convenient base for your surfing session.
