Surf’s up in Cornwall and Cleveland, and it’s a swell time to learn to ride the waves! It’s not necessary to know the surfing lingo or sport dreadlocks to join in the fun of a Learn to Surf Experience Day. Expert instructors are waiting to initiate you into the techniques required for braving a wild ride. No special equipment required, just plenty of enthusiasm and a bathing suit, towel and sunblock.
Learn to Surf with Red Letter Days!
You should be able to swim, in case of a ‘wipe-out’, and be aged over eight with a reasonable level of fitness. Surfing is a spectator sport as much as a thrilling experience for the surfer, so family and friends are welcome to come and join in the fun.
The Learn to Surf Experience Day starts with learning all about how to stay safe in the water, then how to paddle out to catch those waiting waves. It takes just the morning to bone up on the basics, and learn the essential etiquette, then, after re-fuelling with a luscious lunch, the rest of the day is devoted to sharpening the skills. The Learn to Surf Experience Day is offered at two UK locations – Padstow, Cornwall, and Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire.
