The taster surfing lesson at Widemouth Bay in Bude, Cornwall, lasts about two hours and is designed for beginners or those with some experience who want to improve their technique. The lesson takes place in small groups to provide personal attention from experienced instructors. Participants receive practical guidance and use appropriate equipment, including a warm wetsuit and suitable surfboards, all provided as part of the session. The lesson begins with basic instruction on land, followed by time in the water practicing paddling, standing up, and catching waves at Widemouth Bay.
Meet Instructor and Gear Up
Participants meet their surfing instructor on the beach and are provided with a wetsuit and surfboard appropriate for their size. They then walk down to the water’s edge for a safety briefing and warm-up exercises. After preparation, they begin their first session in the water with the goal of standing up on the board by the end.
